Abstract

Here, we synthesise published experimental data on survival, calcification, and reproductive performance of marine calcifiers belonging to the phyla Cnidaria, Bivalvia, and Echinodermata, and project these responses onto IPCC SSP–RCP global surface-ocean pH trajectories through 2100 using normalised, stage-specific health indices.
