- •
This manuscript investigated the effects of the increase of atmospheric CO2 and acid rain to the community of intertidal macroalgae.
- •
Corallina sp. survived extremely low pH conditions (pH 3) and could regulate the pH of their ambient seawater through the dissolution of CaCO3.
- •
It clarified that many macro-algae have disappeared and coralline algae now dominate the intertidal zone.
