Hundreds of coral paleoclimate records have been developed over the past several
decades, significantly extending the instrumental record and improving our understanding of …

Coral reefs maintain extraordinary biodiversity and provide protection from tsunamis and
storm surge, but inshore coral reef health is degrading in many regions due to deteriorating …

With the rapid rise in pollution-associated nitrogen inputs to the western Pacific, it has been
suggested that even the open ocean has been affected. In a coral core from Dongsha Atoll …

The continuing degradation of coral reefs has serious consequences for the provision of
ecosystem goods and services to local and regional communities. While climate change is …

Symbioses between microalgae and animal hosts have the advantage of acquiring and
sharing autotrophically produced organic carbon (C) as their energy source. However, the …

In recent decades, the flow of fixed—that is, biologically usable—nitrogen from human
activities into the environment has grown substantially. The sources include excess …

The skeleton-bound organic nitrogen in reef-building symbiotic corals may be a high-
resolution archive of ocean nitrogen cycle dynamics and a tool for understanding coral …

Nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ 15 N) of organic material have successfully been used to
track food-web dynamics, nitrogen baselines, pollution, and nitrogen cycling. Extending the …

The isotopic composition of skeleton-bound organic nitrogen in shallow-water scleractinian
corals (hereafter, CS-δ 15 N) is an emerging tool for studying the marine nitrogen cycle in …

Nitrogen stable isotopes (δ 15 N) of organic matter can aid in the reconstruction of food
webs and, when applied to fossil systems, may help resolve uncertainty about trophic …
