Predicted aragonite saturation state of the surface ocean in the year 2100 (Orr et al., 2005<ref name="Orr et al, 2005">Orr, J.C., Fabry, V.J., Aumont, O., Bopp, L., Doney, S.C., Feely, R. A., Gnanadesikan, A., Gruber, N., Ishida, A., Joos, F., Key, R.M., Lindsay, K., Maier-Reimer, E., Matear, R., Monfray, P., Mouchet, A., Najjar, R.G., Plattner, G.K., Rodgers, K.B., Sabine, C.L., Sarmiento, J.L., Schlitzer, R., Slater, R.D., Totterdell, I.J., Weirig, M.F., Yamanaka, Y. and Yool, A. 2005. Anthropogenic ocean acidification over the twenty-first century and its impact on calcifying organisms, ''Nature'', '''437''', 681-686.</ref>). The dashed line represents the saturation horizon and shows that much of the Southern Ocean (&lt;50&ordm;S) is expected to be under-saturated with respect to aragonite by 2100.
