“…Among deep‐sea VME indicators, cold‐water corals that form important biogenic habitats are known to be vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, particularly to ocean acidification (FAO, ; Guinotte et al, ; Orr et al, ; Perez et al, ; Roberts et al, ; Tittensor, Baco, Hall‐Spencer, Orr, & Rogers, ). This vulnerability exists because most cold‐water corals with carbonate skeletons occur in waters supersaturated in carbonate that enable coral skeleton biocalcification.…”

“…& Gattuso, 2019; Movilla et al, 2014), the projected shoaling of the calcite and aragonite saturation horizons along with warming is expected to lead to the loss of suitable habitat (Davies & Guinotte, 2011;Perez et al, 2018;Sulpis et al, 2018;Tittensor et al, 2010;Yesson et al, 2012), weakening of the reef frameworks that may result in structural collapse of slow-growing scleractinian corals (Büscher et al, 2019;Gomez, Wickes, Deegan, Etnoyer, & Cordes, 2019;Hennige et al, 2015), and increased mortality of octocorals that form coral gardens (Cerrano et al, 2013;Gugliotti, DeLorenzo, & Etnoyer, 2019). Notwithstanding genotypic variability in cold-water corals' response to ocean acidification (Kurman, Gómez, Georgian, Lunden, & Cordes, 2017;Lunden, McNicholl, Sears, Morrison, & Cordes, 2014), these changes may result in the loss of biodiversity and provision of ecosystem services associated with these ecosystems .…”

“…The anthropogenic CO 2 invasion has resulted in 0.1 unit decrease in pH in the surface ocean globally since the industrial revolution and an additional decline of 0.2–0.4 pH unit is expected by the end of this century (Orr et al, ). The uptake of anthropogenic CO 2 also resulted in an increase of seawater acidity in the ocean interior (Sabine et al, ) and the shoaling of the calcium carbonate saturation horizons (Feely et al, ; Perez et al, ). Ocean acidification has a negative impact on marine calcifying organisms (Doney, ; Guinotte & Fabry, ; Orr et al, ; Waldbusser et al, ) and also represents a potential global threat to the health of marine ecosystems (Fabry et al, ; Hutchins et al, ; Kroeker et al, ; Pan et al, ; Sunday et al, ).…”

“…However, the NW Iberian margin is characterized by well ventilated waters, high oxygen, and sediments with relatively low organic carbon content, in comparison to the other main coastal upwelling areas (Castro et al, , ). A recent paper by Perez et al () shows that aragonite saturation at proximally 300‐m water depth is >75 μmol kg −1 at the Portuguese margin stations of the Ovide transect. For that reason, we have a good aragonite preservation and assume that dissolution will be not an important issue for calcite for this very shallow coastal upwelling region.…”
