Coralline algae are globally distributed benthic primary producers that secrete calcium
carbonate skeletons. In the context of ocean acidification, they have received much recent …

Marine organisms have occupied hard substrates since the Archaean. Shells, rocks, wood
and sedimentary hardgrounds offer relatively stable habitats compared to unconsolidated …

Rhodoliths (maërl) are widely distributed in the worlds' oceans and have an excellent fossil
record. Individuals are slow growing, may be long lived (> 100 years), and are resilient to a …

Calcified macroalgae are distributed in marine habitats from polar to tropical latitudes and
from intertidal shores to the deepest reaches of the euphotic zone. These algae play critical …

Abstract A long-term (10 months) controlled experiment was conducted to test the impact of
increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide (p CO 2) on common calcifying coral reef …

While the specific life histories of different species and populations vary to some extent, sea
turtles typically are long-lived, slow-growing, and wide-ranging, occupying multiple habitats …

The effective management of our marine ecosystems requires the capability to identify,
characterise and predict the distribution of benthic biological communities within the overall …

The past few hundred years have seen large fluctuations in atmospheric 14C concentration.
In part, these have been the result of natural factors, including the climatic changes of the …

Rhodolith (maërl) beds, communities dominated by free living coralline algae, are a
common feature of subtidal environments worldwide. Well preserved as fossils, they have …

This book presents both state-of-the art knowledge from Recent coral reefs (1.8 million to a
few centuries old) gained since the eighties, and introduces geologists, oceanographers …
