In situ recovery of bivalve shell characteristics after temporary exposure to elevated pCO₂

Ocean uptake of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is causing changes in carbonate chemistry that affects calcification in marine organisms. In coastal areas, this CO 2 ‐enriched seawater mixes with waters affected by seasonal degradation of organic material loaded externally from watersheds or produced as a response to nutrient enrichment. As a result, coastal bivalves often experience strong seasonal changes in carbonate chemistry. In some cases, these...
