TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a manipulation experiment in which sodium hydroxide was added to seawater flowing over a natural coral reef community in situ and showed that when ocean chemistry was restored closer to pre-industrial conditions, net community calcification increased, indicating that ocean acidification may already be impairing coral reef growth.

TL;DR: This estimate provides evidence that near-future reductions in the aragonite saturation state will compromise the ecosystem function of coral reefs, and is the first to be based on a controlled experiment in the natural environment.

TL;DR: It is found that on hourly timescales nighttime community calcification is strongly influenced by Ωarag, with greater net calcium carbonate dissolution under more acidic conditions, and nighttime dissolution in these intertidal ecosystems could more than double by 2050.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the potential for intensive temporal sampling to isolate the influence of carbonate chemistry on community calcification rates of a coral reef and compare the ratio of organic to inorganic carbon production to previous studies at the same location.
