Many physiological responses in present-day coral reefs to climate change are interpreted
as consistent with the imminent disappearance of modern reefs globally because of annual …

Ocean acidification (OA), a consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, poses
a serious threat to marine organisms in tropical, open-ocean, coastal, deep-sea, and high …

Ocean acidification results in co-varying inorganic carbon system variables. Of these, an
explicit focus on pH and organismal acid–base regulation has failed to distinguish the …

The effect of Ocean Acidification (OA) on marine biota is quasi-predictable at best. While
perturbation studies, in the form of incubations under elevated pCO2, reveal sensitivities and …

Anthropogenic CO2 emitted to the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, causing a
progressive increase in ocean inorganic carbon concentrations and resulting in decreased …

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations are expectedto decrease
surface ocean pH by 0.3–0.5 units by 2100 (refs,), lowering the carbonate ion concentration …

In spite of more than one century and half of studies, mechanisms of coral biomineralization,
leading to coral growth and reef formation, still remain poorly known, although major global …

In this review we discuss the present knowledge on the biological and environmental control
of biomineralization (calcification) in hermatypic corals. We describe first the anatomy of the …

Coral reefs are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems on our planet.
Scleractinian corals function as the primary reef ecosystem engineers, constructing the …

Highly productive tropical seagrasses often live adjacent to or among coral reefs and utilize
large amounts of inorganic carbon. In this study, the effect of seagrass productivity on …
