Marine organisms precipitate 0.5–2.0 Gt of carbon as calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) every
year with a profound impact on global biogeochemical element cycles. Biotic calcification …

Ocean acidification (OA) poses a severe threat to tropical coral reefs, yet much of what is
know about these effects comes from individual corals and algae incubated in isolation …

Coral reefs are diverse ecosystems that are threatened by rising CO 2 levels through
increases in sea surface temperature and ocean acidification. Here we present a new …

The threat represented by ocean acidification (OA) for coral reefs has received considerable
attention because of the sensitivity of calcifiers to changing seawater carbonate chemistry …

Constraining coral reef metabolism and carbon chemistry dynamics are fundamental for
understanding and predicting reef vulnerability to rising coastal CO 2 concentrations and …

Ocean acidification (OA) is impairing the construction of coral reefs while simultaneously
accelerating their breakdown. The metabolism of different reef organism assemblages alters …

The design and evaluation of replicated artificial mesocosms are presented in the context of
a thirteen month experiment on the effects of ocean acidification on tropical coral reefs. They …
