Enrichments (DIC and DOC) on the photosynthesis and calcification rates of tw...
Coral reefs worldwide are affected by increasing dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and organic carbon (DOC) concentrations due to ocean acidification (OA) and coastal... -
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... -
The physiological response of two green calcifying algae from the great barri...
Increasing dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations associated with ocean acidification can affect marine calcifiers, but local factors, such as high dissolved organic... -
Species-specific responses to climate change and community composition determ...
Anthropogenic climate change compromises reef growth as a result of increasing temperatures and ocean acidification. Scleractinian corals vary in their sensitivity to these... -
Interactive effects of ocean acidification and neighboring corals on the grow...
The physical and chemical environment around corals, as well as their physiology, can be affected by interactions with neighboring corals. This study employed small colonies (4... -
Preconditioning in the reef-building coral Pocillopora damicornis and the pot...
Coral reefs are globally threatened by climate change-related ocean warming and ocean acidification (OA). To date, slow-response mechanisms such as genetic adaptation have been... -
Calcification is not the Achilles'heel of cold-water corals in an acidifying ...
Ocean acidification is thought to be a major threat to coral reefs: laboratory evidence and CO2 seep research has shown adverse effects on many coral species, although a few are... -
Physiological advantages of dwarfing in surviving extinctions in high-CO2 oceans
Excessive CO2 in the present-day ocean-atmosphere system is causing ocean acidification, and is likely to cause a severe biodiversity decline in the future, mirroring effects in... -
Decreased light availability can amplify negative impacts of ocean acidificat...
Coral reef organisms are increasingly and simultaneously affected by global and local stressors such as ocean acidification (OA) and reduced light availability. However,... -
Calcareous green alga Halimeda tolerates ocean acidification conditions at tr...
We investigated ecological, physiological, and skeletal characteristics of the calcifying green alga Halimeda grown at CO2 seeps (pHtotal ~ 7.8) and compared them to those at... -
Secondary calcification and dissolution respond differently to future ocean c...
Climate change threatens both the accretion and erosion processes that sustain coral reefs. Secondary calcification, bioerosion, and reef dissolution are integral to the... -
Ocean acidification rapidly reduces dinitrogen fixation associated with the h...
Since productivity and growth of coral-associated dinoflagellate algae is nitrogen (N)-limited, dinitrogen (N2) fixation by coral-associated microbes is likely crucial for... -
Nutrient availability affects the response of the calcifying chlorophyte Hali...
Atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions cause a decrease in the pH and aragonite saturation state of surface ocean water. As a result, calcifying organisms are expected to suffer... -
Coral calcification under daily oxygen saturation and pH dynamics reveals the...
Coral reefs are essential to many nations, and are currently in global decline. Although climate models predict decreases in seawater pH (0.3 units) and oxygen saturation (5... -
Diffusion boundary layers ameliorate the negative effects of ocean acidificat...
Anthropogenically-modulated reductions in pH, termed ocean acidification, could pose a major threat to the physiological performance, stocks, and biodiversity of calcifiers and... -
Acclimatization of the crustose coralline alga Porolithon onkodes to variable...
Ocean acidification (OA) has important implications for the persistence of coral reef ecosystems, due to potentially negative effects on biomineralization. Many coral reefs are... -
In Situ effects of low pH and elevated HCO3 on juvenile massive Porites spp. ...
Juvenile colonies of massive Porites spp. were exposed to manipulated pH and bicarbonate ([HCO3-]) in situ to test the hypothesis that ocean acidification (OA) does not affect... -
Coral energy reserves and calcification in a high-CO2 world at two temperatures
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations threaten coral reefs globally by causing ocean acidification (OA) and warming. Yet, the combined effects of elevated pCO2 and temperature... -
Differential response of two Mediterranean cold-water coral species to ocean ...
Cold-water coral (CWC) reefs constitute one of the most complex deep-sea habitats harboring a vast diversity of associated species. Like other tropical or temperate framework... -
The responses of eight coral reef calcifiers to increasing partial pressure o...
The objective of this study was to investigate whether a tipping point exists in the calcification responses of coral reef calcifiers to CO2. We compared the effects of six...
