Short summary

Coccolithophores are tiny oceanic algae that produce calcium carbonate, which can help organic matter sink and affect the oxygen levels below. As ocean conditions change, we studied how these algae contribute to carbon transport in a low-oxygen, low-pH region of the Southeast Pacific. Our results show they survive in these challenging conditions, but their impact is lower than in most regions, suggesting that other phytoplankton may play a bigger role in moving organic carbon here.
