Seawater carbonate chemistry and photosynthesis, respiration and calcificatio...
Coral reefs are currently experiencing substantial ecological impoverishment as a result of anthropogenic stressors, and the majority of reefs are facing immediate risk.... -
Morphological plasticity of the coral skeleton under CO2-driven seawater acid...
Ocean acidification causes corals to calcify at reduced rates, but current understanding of the underlying processes is limited. Here, we conduct a mechanistic study into how... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification rate during experiments with c...
We show here that CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and temperature significantly interact on coral physiology. The effects of increased pCO2 and temperature on photosynthesis,... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, photosynthesis, respiration and calcification d...
We show here that CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and temperature significantly interact on coral physiology. The effects of increased pCO2 and temperature on photosynthesis,... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and cell growth of coral Stylophora pistillata
There are increasing concerns that the current rate of climate change might outpace the ability of reef-building corals to adapt to future conditions. Work on model systems has... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and proton gradients across the coral calcifying...
In corals, pH regulation of the extracellular calcifying medium (ECM) by the calcifying cell layer is a crucial step in the calcification process and is potentially important to... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification rates of tropical zooxanthella...
Corals are globally important calcifiers that exhibit complex responses to anthropogenic warming and acidification. Although coral calcification is supported by high seawater... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification, photosynthesis and respiratio...
A decrease in ocean pH of 0.3 units will likely double the proportion of dissolved copper (Cu) present as the free metal ion, Cu2+, the most bioavailable form of Cu, and one of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and combined responses of primary coral polyps a...
With coral reefs declining globally, resilience of these ecosystems hinges on successful coral recruitment. However, knowledge of the acclimatory and/or adaptive potential in... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and proportion of transcriptome changing, coral ...
The integrity of coral reefs worldwide is jeopardized by ocean acidification (OA). Most studies conducted so far have focused on the vulnerability to OA of corals inhabiting... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and half-time of calcein influx in the coral Sty...
Coral calcification relies on the transport of ions and molecules to the extracellular calcifying medium (ECM). Little is known about paracellular transport (via intercellular... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and crystallographic vital effect of the coral s...
Distinguishing between environmental and species-specific physiological signals, recorded in coral skeletons, is one of the fundamental challenges in their reliable use as... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and coral calcification
Coral reefs are constructed by calcifiers that precipitate calcium carbonate to build their shells or skeletons through the process of calcification. Accurately assessing coral... -
Coral pH regulation of the calcifying fluid is modulated by seawater dissolve...
Reef coral calcification depends on regulation of pH in the internal calcifying fluid in which the coral skeleton forms. However, little is known about calcifying fluid pH... -
Coral calcifying fluid pH dictates response to ocean acidification
Ocean acidification driven by rising levels of CO2 impairs calcification, threatening coral reef growth. Predicting how corals respond to CO2 requires a better understanding of... -
Photosynthate translocation increases in response to low seawater pH in a cor...
This study has examined the effect of low seawater pH values (induced by an increased CO2 partial pressure) on the rates of photosynthesis, as well as on the carbon budget and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, tissue-skeleton interface and calcification in ...
Insight into the response of reef corals and other major marine calcifiers to ocean acidification is limited by a lack of knowledge about how seawater pH and carbonate chemistry... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, nutrient uptake and biological processes of cor...
The effects of ocean acidification and elevated seawater temperature on coral calcification and photosynthesis have been extensively investigated over the last two decades,... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification rate of colonies of Stylophora...
The carbonate chemistry of seawater is usually not considered to be an important factor influencing calcium-carbonate-precipitation by corals because surface seawater is... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, calcification and Zn uptake during experiments ...
Many studies have investigated the effect of an increase in pCO2 on coral calcification and photosynthesis but the physiological consequences are still relatively speculative....
