Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs
There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and pH on coral reefs.
However, little is known about how these two stressors interact and influence coral reef …

Adaptation to reef habitats through selection on the coral animal and its associated microbiome
Spatially adjacent habitats on coral reefs can represent highly distinct environments, often
harbouring different coral communities. Yet, certain coral species thrive across divergent …

Ocean acidification: Linking science to management solutions using the Great Barrier Reef as a case study
Coral reefs are one of the most vulnerable ecosystems to ocean acidification. While our
understanding of the potential impacts of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems is …

A diurnal carbon engine explains 13C-enriched carbonates without increasing the global production of oxygen
In the past 3 billion years, significant volumes of carbonate with high carbon-isotopic (δ 13

Community production modulates coral reef pH and the sensitivity of ecosystem calcification to ocean acidification
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 …

Assessment of net community production and calcification of a coral reef using a boundary layer approach
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 …

Variation in growth rates of branching corals along Australia's Great Barrier Reef
Coral growth is an important component of reef health and resilience. However, few studies
have investigated temporal and/or spatial variation in growth of branching corals, which are …
