  abstract = {{T}his model study addresses the change in pelagic calcium carbonate production ({C}a{CO}3, as calcite in the model) and dissolution in response to rising atmospheric {CO}2. {T}he parameterization of {C}a{CO}3 production includes a dependency on the saturation state of seawater with respect to calcite. {I}t was derived from laboratory and mesocosm studies on particulate organic and inorganic carbon production in {E}miliania huxleyi as a function of p{CO}(2). {T}he model predicts values of {C}a{CO}3 production and dissolution in line with recent estimates. {T}he effect of rising p{CO}(2) on {C}a{CO}3 production and dissolution was quantified by means of model simulations forced with atmospheric {CO}2 increasing at a rate of 1% per year from 286 ppm to 1144 ppm over a 140 year time-period. {T}he simulation predicts a decrease of {C}a{CO}3 production by 27%. {T}he combined change in production and dissolution of {C}a{CO}3 yields an excess uptake of {CO}2 from the atmosphere by the ocean of 5.9 {G}t{C} over the period of 140 years.},
