230Coral reefs provide critical ecological and geomorphic (eg sediment production for reef-
fronted shoreline maintenance) services, which interact in complex and dynamic ways …

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

Halimeda is a potential carbon sink species and an important player in the global carbonate
budget. The objectives of this study were to:(i) examine the CaCO3 and sediment …

Marine macrophytes help protect coastal habitats by modifying the energy of their
environment, attenuating wave action, and stabilizing the sediment. The aim of this research …

Calcifying macroalgae contribute significantly to the structure and function of tropical marine
ecosystems. Their calcification and photosynthetic processes are not well understood …

An elevated sea temperature is considered a key abiotic stressor causing thermal stress to
intertidal macroalgae and influencing their populations. Halimeda macroloba is an important …

Calcifying green algae of the genus Halimeda JV Lamouroux are typical for the modular
thalli composed of serial segments. Their CaCO3 content gradually increases with age due …

Calcareous green alga in the genus Halimeda are important contributors to the marine
carbonate budget. Dongsha Island is located in the northernmost South China Sea and is a …

Coralline algae, an important calcifying group, play vital roles in the primary productivity, reef
frameworks construction, and carbon store. In this study, we investigated the responses of …

Plasticity gives plants the ability to adapt their morphology and growth to various
environments. Environmental factors can lead to changes in the growth forms of algae …
