This study led by @aaronferderer.bsky.social tested how 5 diatom species respond to broad ranges of seawater carbonate conditions. Goal was to determine carbonate chemistry niches and to inform Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) and Ocean Acidification (OA)

Carbonate chemistry fitness landscapes inform diatom resilience to future perturbations
Diatom growth rates are determined by concentrations of CO2 and H+ across broad carbonate chemistry landscapes.
