How do they respond to abiotic stresses or to competition with other microbes?

In the absence of that ion supply, abiotic CO2 uptake in the ocean as a function of CO2 in air is at least somewhat limited by ions already present; acification can (over time) dissolve carbonate minerals that supply cations and carbonate ions, buffering pH and reacting with CO2 to form bicarbonate ions; new cations from chemical weathering have to be supplied to actually remove C from the oceans while keeping pH from dropping and without releasing as much CO2 from bicarbonate ions).

The intersection of biological and abiotic resources of interest is likely to guide identification of any «last refuge», and without at least considering those potential areas of conflict, such an effort seems fraught with difficulty.
