Answer:
Explanation:
Theorizing the chemistry of the calcification process, however, Biosphere 2 collaborators such as Marlin Atkinson of the University of Hawaii and Chris Langdon, Taro Takahashi, and Wallace Broecker of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory hypothesized that rising atmospheric CO 2 levels, which increase the partial pressure of CO 2 dissolved in seawater, might also exert important effects by changing the equilibrium of calcium carbonate and bicarbonate ions, making calcium carbonate less available to the living coral organisms.
