The role of natural variability in shaping the response of coral reef organisms to climate change
Abstract Purpose of Review We investigate whether regimes of greater daily variability in
temperature or pH result in greater tolerance to ocean warming and acidification in key reef …

Coral reefs will transition to net dissolving before end of century
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 …

Drivers of biogeochemical variability in a central California kelp forest: implications for local amelioration of ocean acidification
Kelp forests are among the world's most productive marine ecosystems, and they have the

Community production modulates coral reef pH and the sensitivity of ecosystem calcification to ocean acidification
TM DeCarlo, AL Cohen, GTF Wong… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

For reef-building corals, extreme stress exposure can result in loss of endosymbionts,
leaving colonies bleached. However, corals in some habitats are commonly exposed to …
