Cover Story: Carbonate skeletonized organisms such as bryozoans, mollusks, echinoderms, cnidarians, barnacles, serpulids, foraminifers, ostracods, and red algae occur in Antarctic marine biota today. Depending on the different carbonate polymorphs secreted and postmortem circumstances, their skeletal remains play a major role in reconstructions of former benthic environments. Information on Antarctic marine carbonates is, however, exiguous, especially regarding deep-sea habitats, generating a taphonomic bias in paleoecological reconstructions and entangling predictions on their fate in the face of climate change. Evidence on the current situation of living Antarctic carbonate factories represents a baseline to monitoring future effects of progressive ocean acidification and global warming. View this paper
