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

It's time to broaden what we consider a 'blue carbon ecosystem'
Photoautotrophic marine ecosystems can lock up organic carbon in their biomass and the
associated organic sediments they trap over millennia and are thus regarded as blue carbon …

Coral reefs modify their seawater carbon chemistry–implications for impacts of ocean acidification
Reviews suggest that that the biogeochemical threshold for sustained coral reef growth will
be reached during this century due to ocean acidification caused by increased uptake of …

A numerical study of circulation in a coastal reef‐lagoon system
A coupled wave‐circulation numerical model was used to simulate the distribution of wave
energy, as well as the circulation induced by wave breaking, wind, and tidal forcing, within a …

Calcification and organic production on a Hawaiian coral reef
Net ecosystem calcification rates (NEC) and net photosynthesis (NP) were determined from
CO2 seawater parameters on the barrier coral reef of Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii …

Physical and biological controls on the carbonate chemistry of coral reef waters: effects of metabolism, wave forcing, sea level, and geomorphology
We present a three-dimensional hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model of a wave-driven
coral-reef lagoon system using the circulation model ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling …

Dynamics of seawater carbonate chemistry, production, and calcification of a coral reef flat, central Great Barrier Reef
Ocean acidification is projected to shift coral reefs from a state of net accretion to one of net
dissolution this century. Presently, our ability to predict global-scale changes to coral reef …

Coral reefs modify their seawater carbon chemistry–case study from a barrier reef (M oorea, F rench P olynesia)
Abstract Changes in the carbonate chemistry of coral reef waters are driven by carbon fluxes
from two sources: concentrations of CO 2 in the atmospheric and source water, and the …

In situ coral reef oxygen metabolism: An eddy correlation study
Quantitative studies of coral reefs are challenged by the three-dimensional hard structure of
reefs and the high spatial variability and temporal dynamics of their metabolism. We used …

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 …
