TL;DR: The risk of irreversible ecosystem changes due to ocean acidification should enlighten the ongoing CO2 emissions debate and make it clear that the human dependence on fossil fuels must end quickly.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors put forward a hypothesis that the global distribution of deep-sea scleractinians could be limited in part by the depth of the aragonite saturation horizon (ASH) in the world's oceans.

TL;DR: Global habitat suitability models have been generated for five species of framework-forming scleractinian corals by taking the best available data and using a novel approach to generate high resolution maps of seafloor conditions, indicating the majority of suitable coral habitat is likely to occur on the continental shelves and slopes of the Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian Oceans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used classifications based on this concept with predicted time-variant conditions of future climate to develop a scenario for the evolution of future marginality, and found that essentially all reef locations are likely to become marginal with respect to aragonite saturation state.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed global biogeographic provinces for the lower bathyal and abyssal benthos (>800m depths) in order to aid high seas management efforts.
