Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical Consequences of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide on Coral Reefs
Joan A. Kleypas,Robert W. Buddemeier,David Archer,Jean-Pierre Gattuso,Chris Langdon,Bradley N. Opdyke +5 more
TL;DR: A coral reef represents the net accumulation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced by corals and other calcifying organisms, and if calcification declines, then reef-building capacity also declines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Change Impacts on U.S. Coastal and Marine Ecosystems
Donald Scavia,John C. Field,Donald F. Boesch,Robert W. Buddemeier,Virginia Burkett,Daniel R. Cayan,Michael J. Fogarty,Mark A. Harwell,Robert W. Howarth,Curt Mason,Denise J. Reed,Thomas C. Royer,Asbury H. Sallenger,James G. Titus +13 more
TL;DR: A summary of the coastal and marine resources sector review of potential impacts on shorelines, estuaries, coastal wetlands, coral reefs, and ocean margin ecosystems can be found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of calcium carbonate saturation of seawater on coral calcification
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the calcification rates of five colonies of the zooxanthellate coral Stylophora pistillata in synthetic seawater using the alkalinity anomaly technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral bleaching as an adaptive mechanism : a testable hypothesis
TL;DR: This article considers only the phenomenon of algal loss, the loss of pigment associated with their symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) in organisms such as hard and soft corals, giant clams, and sea anemones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Budgets of soil erosion and deposition for sediments and sedimentary organic carbon across the conterminous United States
TL;DR: The fate of soil organic matter during erosion and sedimentation has been difficult to assess because of the large size and complex turnover characteristics of the soil carbon reservoir, and it has been assumed that most of the carbon released during erosion is lost to oxidation as discussed by the authors.
