Abstract:<p>Accumulation of anthropogenic CO₂ is fuelling the decline of coral reef ecosystems. Increasing sea surface temperatures disrupt the endosymbiotic relationship between cnidarians and their single-celled dinoflagellate partners (genus Symbiodinium), while ocean acidification is known to impede calcification. At the cellular level, however, ocean acidification also has the potential to cause acidosis, with negative impacts on cell structure and function. Yet, despite the importance of intracellular pH (p… Show more
