Short summary

We carried out a 1-year experiment on coralline algae to test how higher CO₂ and temperature might change the mineral composition of the algal skeleton. We expected there to be a decline in magnesium with CO₂ and an increase with temperature. We found that CO₂ did not change the mineral composition, but higher temperature increased the amount of magnesium.
