Abstract
Two processes that are of major importance in the global carbon cycle, photosynthesis and calcification, are widely associated in the marine environment. This association can be direct, as in coccolithophores and calcareous algae, or in the form of symbiosis, as found in hermatypic corals, planktonic and benthonic foraminifera. These groups of organisms are the major calcifiers in the ocean and precipitate the bulk: of CaCO3 in the pelagic and the neritic environments.
