Johnson,Sylvia Musielewicz,Sylvia Musielewicz,Tim Noyes,Christopher L. Sabine,Adrienne J. Sutton,Adrienne J. Sutton,Jessy Toncin,Aline Tribollet +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coral reef net ecosystem calcification (NEC) was calculated for Hog Reef in Bermuda using both chemistry and census-based NEC techniques to compare the mass-balance generated by the two methods and identify the dominant biocalcifiers at Hog Reef.
Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for identifying and characterising coral reef “oases” against a backdrop of degradation

Lenz,Satoshi Mitarai,Peter J. Mumby,Hannah Nelson,Britt-Anne A. Parker,Hollie M. Putnam,Caroline S. Rogers,Lauren T. Toth +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a framework for identifying oases within coral reef regions using long-term monitoring data, and calculated standardised estimates of coral cover (z-scores) to distinguish sites that deviated positively from regional means.

Journal ArticleDOI
CO2-induced ocean acidification impairs calcification in the tropical urchin Echinometra viridis
TL;DR: The experiments reveal that calcification rates decreased for urchins reared under elevated p CO 2, with the decline being more pronounced under wintertime temperatures than under summertime temperatures, and suggest that impact of CO 2 -induced ocean acidification on urchin calcification will be more severe in the winter and in cooler waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental controls on modern scleractinian coral and reef-scale calcification.

TL;DR: It is shown that temperature is the primary driver of coral colony and reef-scale calcification rates over a 2-year monitoring period from the Bermuda coral reef and the potential benefits of rapid reductions in global anthropogenic CO2 emissions for 21st-century Bermuda coral reefs and the ecosystem services they provide are highlighted.
