HALF OF GLOBAL. “In terms of total CaCO3 production, the pelagic foraminifera and coccolithophores together probably represent the bulk of modern-day global CaCO3 production. While accurate estimates of the relative contributions of these organisms are lacking, it is likely that the coccolithophores represent up to half of all current global oceanic CaCO3 production.”
