Here we conducted 19 shipbased experiments in the Equatorial Pacific, examining three prevalent alkaline substances (sodium hydroxide, olivine, and steel slag) and their effects...

Benthic macrofauna density was measured during a nutrient enrichment and exclusion field experiment on seagrass. A total of 24 plots (Sampling stations) were set up parallel to...

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) was measured during a nutrient enrichment and exclusion field experiment on seagrass. A total of 24 plots (Sampling stations) were set up...

Rising anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere is accompanied by an increase in oceanic CO2 and a concomitant decline in seawater pH (ref. 1). This phenomenon, known as ocean...

Corals are acclimatized to populate dynamic habitats that neighbour coral reefs. Habitats such as seagrass beds exhibit broad diel changes in temperature and pH that routinely...

Anthropogenic CO2 is causing warming and ocean acidification. Coral reefs are being severely impacted, yet confusion lingers regarding how reefs will respond to these stressors...

Microbes are fundamental to ocean ecosystem function, yet they remain understudied across broad spatial and environmental scales in dynamic regions like the Gulf of America/Gulf...

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...

This study examines two Hawaiian coral species—Montipora capitata and Pocillopora acuta to elevated pCO2 simulating OA. Utilizing pH and O2 microsensors under controlled light...

Here, we exposed the early life stages of Pocillopora acuta in Kāne'ohe Bay, Hawai'i, USA, a common reef-building coral throughout the Pacific, to projected ocean warming and...

To elucidate how reef-building corals respond and/or resist to OA, three levels of pCO2 (350.06 ± 30.67, 818.93 ± 76.09, 1694.92 ± 105.77 μatm) were used to mimic OA in ambient...

Here, we studied the skeleton-forming strategies of 4 widely distributed coral species in a simulated acidified habitat with a pH of 7.6 to 7.8. We reconstructed and visualized...

Here, we used boron-based geochemical proxies (δ11B, B/Ca) to investigate how three common Hawaiian coral species (Montipora capitata, Porites compressa, Porites lobata)...

In this study, we investigated 1) the role of pH in sex determination (i.e., pH-mediated sex determination, namely,PSD); 2) the potential of PSD to be maintained across...

A mesocosm experiment was conducted to investigate whether three levels of decreasing seawater pH could alter the activity of key enzymes involved in the energy metabolism in...

In this study, we used controlled aquaria experiments to investigate the effects of acidification and elevated temperature treatments on nutrient cycling in the larval...

Here, we present a two-year experimental study examining the responses of entire mesocosm coral reef communities to warming (+2 °C), acidification (−0.2 pH units), and combined...

Here, we take advantage of the ability to sample genetically distinct coral colonies (genets) to produce genetically identical clonal fragments (ramets) and use an identical...

Following natural thermal stress in two consecutive years (2014 and 2015), we evaluated the effects of feeding and simulated ocean acidification on the physiological recovery of...

We examined gene expression responses of >2-year coral transplant experiment to ambient and low pH common garden sites of three species of reef-building corals (Porites...
