Although the oceans play a fundamental role in shaping the distribution and function of coral
reefs worldwide, a modern understanding of the complex interactions between ocean and …

Ocean acidification refers to the lowering of the ocean's pH due to the uptake of
anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere. Coral reef calcification is expected to decrease as …

Worldwide, coral reef ecosystems are experiencing increasing pressure from a variety of
anthropogenic perturbations including ocean warming and acidification, increased …

The literature on ocean acidification (OA) contains a prevalent misconception that reduced
organismal calcification rates in an acidifying ocean are driven by a reduction in carbonate …

In the past 3 billion years, significant volumes of carbonate with high carbon-isotopic (δ 13
C) values accumulated on shallow continental shelves. These deposits frequently are …

Modern reef-building corals sustain a wide range of ecosystem services because of their
ability to build calcium carbonate reef systems. The influence of environmental variables on …

Coral reefs are built of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced biogenically by a diversity of
calcifying plants, animals, and microbes. As the ocean warms and acidifies, there is …

Coral reefs are threatened worldwide, and there is a need to develop new approaches to
monitor reef health under natural conditions. Because simultaneous measurements of net …

The measured carbon isotopic compositions of carbonate sediments (δ13Ccarb) on modern
platforms are commonly 13C‐enriched compared to predicted values for minerals forming in …

Long-term coral reef resilience to multiple stressors depends on their ability to maintain
positive calcification rates. Estimates of coral ecosystem calcification and organic …
