Response in English: Ocean acidification is a process in which the pH levels of seawater decrease due to the absorption of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This process has a significant impact on coral reefs, as it limits their ability to build and maintain their skeletons, which are made of calcium carbonate. The acidification process reduces the saturation state of the minerals that coral species use to build their hard exoskeletons, making it harder for coral colonies to grow and recover from natural and man-made stressors.Additionally, ocean acidification can alter the support that coral reefs provide to marine ecosystems. Coral reefs support a diverse array of marine species that rely on this habitat for shelter, food, and breeding. Therefore, when these reefs are weakened by ocean acidification, the survival of thousands of marine animals can be threatened.Finally, ocean acidification can also impact other species connected to coral ecosystems, such as algae and sea urchins. Algae, which play a vital role in the symbiotic relationship with coral polyps, can be negatively affected by ocean acidification, thus reducing the energy supply to the coral. Similarly, sea urchins, which feed on algae in the coral ecosystem, can also be negatively impacted, causing a domino effect on species interdependence within the coral reef environment.Overall, ocean acidification poses a significant threat to coral reefs due to its impact on the health and growth of coral colonies, the marine species that rely on coral ecosystems, and the interconnected species interactions within the coral reef environment. .

Tsebetso ena e na le tšusumetso e kholo mepopotlong ea likorale, kaha e fokotsa bokhoni ba eona ba ho haha le ho boloka masapo a bona, a entsoeng ka calcium carbonate. Tsebetso ea asiti e fokotsa boemo ba ho tlala ha liminerale tseo mefuta ea likorale e li sebelisang ho aha li-exoskeleton tsa tsona tse thata, e leng ho etsang hore ho be thata hore likolone tsa likorale li hole le ho hlaphoheloa khatellong ea tlhaho le e entsoeng ke batho. Ho feta moo, acidization ea leoatle e ka fetola tšehetso eo mepopotlo ea likorale e fanang ka eona ho tikoloho ea leoatle.

Algae, e bapalang karolo ea bohlokoa kamanong ea symbiotic le coral polyps, e ka angoa hampe ke asiti ea maoatle, kahoo ea fokotsa phepelo ea matla ho likorale. Ka mokhoa o tsoanang, li-urchin tsa leoatleng, tse jang algae tikolohong ea likorale, le tsona li ka ameha hampe, tsa baka phello e matla ho itšetlehileng ka mefuta ka hara tikoloho ea mafika a likorale. Ka kakaretso, asiti ea leoatle e baka tšokelo e kholo ho mepopotlo ea likorale ka lebaka la phello ea eona ho bophelo bo botle le kholo ea likolone tsa likorale, mefuta ea leoatle e itšetlehileng ka tikoloho ea likorale, le likamano tsa mefuta e hokahaneng ka hara tikoloho ea mafika a likorale.
