Abstract

The cycling of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in the ocean is closely linked to seawater alkalinity and the regulation of atmospheric CO₂. In the modern pelagic ocean, almost all CaCO₃ is produced by three groups of calcifying planktonic organisms: coccolithophores, foraminifers, and shelled pteropods. In this Review, we examine the differences in functional traits that define each group’s distinctive role in the global carbon cycle and their sensitivity to climate change and ocean acidification. This synthesis reveals that a single representation of CaCO₃ in climate models is unlikely to accurately reflect system dynamics or their impacts on biogeochemical cycling under climate change. We argue that understanding past and future CaCO₃ cycle requires a better delineation of the traits that make up the diversity of calcifying plankton groups.

浮游生物钙化：从生物矿化到全球变化

海洋中碳酸钙（caco3）的循环与海水碱度和大气co2的调节密切相关。在现代远洋中，几乎所有的碳酸钙都是由三组钙化浮游生物产生的：球石藻、有孔虫和有壳翼足类。在这篇综述中，我们研究了功能特征的差异，这些特征定义了每个群体在全球碳循环中的独特作用，以及它们对气候变化和海洋酸化的敏感性。这一综合表明，气候模式中单一的caco3表示不太可能准确反映气候变化下的系统动力学或其对生物地球化学循环的影响。我们认为，理解过去和未来的caco3循环需要更好地描述构成钙化浮游生物群多样性的特征。

期刊介绍： Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research. Science serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has been reached as well as including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in Science—including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated. Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals. Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.
