The 9 pages that link to Calcification, each with the reason it gives.

• Ocean acidificationRelated: Reduced carbonate availability can make marine calcification more difficult or energetically costly.

• CoralRelated: Corals use calcification to build the hard frameworks that persist after polyps die.

• CoccolithophoreRelated: Coccolithophores build their plates through intracellular calcification.

• ChernozemRelated: Seasonal water movement can concentrate carbonate beneath the chernozem surface.

• BryozoaRelated: Many marine bryozoans build hard, mineralized colony walls.

• Calcareous spongeRelated: Calcification produces the calcium carbonate elements of the sponge skeleton.

• JiuzhaigouRelated: Calcite accumulation helps create the valley’s natural dams and terraces.

• StenosisRelated: Calcification can stiffen and narrow heart valves, especially the aortic valve.
