Seawater carbonate chemistry and coral reef community metabolism
Using fumes (5.0×0.3×0.3 m) located outdoors in Moorea, French Polynesia, we assembled local back reef communities with ~25% coral cover, and tested their response to pCO2... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, oxygen production and calcificati...
The Sr/Ca of aragonitic coral skeletons is a commonly used palaeothermometer. However skeletal Sr/Ca is typically dominated by weekly-monthly oscillations which do not reflect... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry, photosynthesis and calcification rate during ex...
The effect of decreasing aragonite saturation state (Omega Arag) of seawater (elevated pCO2) on calcification rates of Acropora muricata was studied using nubbins prepared from... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and coral community metabolism during year-long ...
We describe year-long experiments in which back reef and fore reef (17-m depth) communities from Moorea, French Polynesia, were incubated outdoors under pCO2 regimes reflecting... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth and photophysiology of two tropical r...
Focusing on algal taxa from two different functional groups on Caribbean coral reefs, we exposed fleshy (Dictyota spp.) and calcifying (Halimeda tuna) macroalgae to ambient and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and experiment on pH effects on coralline-epiphy...
Coralline algae, a major calcifying component of coastal shallow water communities, have been shown to be one of the more vulnerable taxonomic groups to ocean acidification... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification response of a tropical sclerac...
Natural processes such as upwelling of deeper-water masses change the physical-chemical conditions of the water column creating localized ocean acidification events that can... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and kelp densities and coral coverages at three ...
Ocean warming is altering the biogeographical distribution of marine organisms. In the tropics, rising sea surface temperatures are restructuring coral reef communities with... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and in situ and laboratory measurements of calci...
Ocean acidification (OA) is generally assumed to negatively impact calcification rates of marine organisms. At a local scale however, biological activity of macrophytes may... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and phytoplankton growth and mortality
In coastal marine ecosystems coralline algae often create biogenic reefs. These calcareous algal reefs affect their associated invertebrate communities via diurnal oscillations... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and characterising biogeochemical fluctuations i...
Coastal and intertidal habitats are at the forefront of anthropogenic influence and environmental change. The species occupying these habitats are adapted to a world of... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and net community calcification (NCC) and net co...
There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and pH on coral reefs. However, little is known about how these two stressors interact and influence coral... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and net community production and net ecosystem c...
Predicting the impacts of ocean acidification in coastal habitats is complicated by bio-physical feedbacks between organisms and carbonate chemistry. Daily changes in pH and... -

Predicting the impacts of ocean acidification in coastal habitats is complicated by bio-physical feedbacks between organisms and carbonate chemistry. Daily changes in pH and... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and net community calcification, production and ...
Previous studies have found that calcification in coral reefs is generally stronger during the day, whereas dissolution is prevalent at night. On the basis of these contrasting... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and calcification and productivity of sporadic c...
Estimates of coral reef ecosystem calcification (Gnet) and productivity (Pnet) provide insight into coral community health and functionality in response to short- and long-term... -
Gross primary production, respiration, and net calcification in coral reef se...
Rates of gross primary production (GPP), respiration (R), and net calcification (Gnet) in coral reef sediments are expected to change in response to global warming (and the... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and ecosystem calcification, community productio...
Coral reefs are built of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced biogenically by a diversity of calcifying plants, animals and microbes. As the ocean warms and acidifies, there is... -
Ocean acidification adversely influences metabolism, extracellular pH and cal...
Oceanic uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere has significantly reduced surface seawater pH and altered the carbonate chemistry within, leading to global Ocean Acidification (OA).... -
Riverine discharges impact physiological traits and carbon sources for shell ...
Anthropogenic modification watersheds and climate change have altered export from fluvial systems causing changes to the carbonate chemistry of river-influenced near shore...
