The pulsating soft coral Xenia umbellata shows high resistance to warming when nitrate concentrations are low
The resistance of hard corals to warming can be negatively affected by nitrate
eutrophication, but related knowledge for soft corals is scarce. We thus investigated the …

Short-term ocean acidification decreases pulsation and growth of the widespread soft coral Xenia umbellata
Coral reefs may experience lower pH values as a result of ocean acidification (OA), which
has negative consequences, particularly for calcifying organisms. Thus far, the effects of this …
