Continued declines in coral reef health over the past three decades have been punctuated
by severe mass coral bleaching‐induced mortality events that have grown in intensity and …

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 …

Seawater is one of the most important CO2 sequestration media for delivering value‐added
chemicals/fuels and active chlorine; however, this scenario is plagued by sluggish reaction …

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

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 …

Unprecedented changes in coral reef systems have focused attention on a wide range of
stressors on local, regional, and global spatial scales but global climate change resulting in …

As atmospheric levels of CO2 increase, reef-building corals are under greater stress from
both increased sea surface temperatures and declining sea water pH. To date, most studies …

Corals depend on a mutualistic symbiosis with intracellular dinoflagellates of the genus
Symbiodinium for their energetic needs. The high productivity of corals in a challenging …

CO 2/pH perturbation experiments were carried out under two different pCO 2 levels (39.3
and 101.3 Pa) to evaluate effects of CO 2-induced ocean acidification on the marine diatom …

Coralline algae are among the most sensitive calcifying organisms to ocean acidification as
a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2). Little is known, however, about the …
