Abstract: Ocean pH is expected to drop by 0.3 units by 2100, but it remains unclear how plankton might respond. Now research shows that pH and carbonate chemistry at the exterior surface of marine organisms deviates increasingly from those of bulk sea water as organism metabolic activity and size increases. Understanding of such deviations is important for predicting ecological response.
