Environmental controls on growth of the massive coral Porites.
Annual density banding provided growth characteristics for 245 similar-sized, massive colonies of Porites from similar locations on 29 reefs from across the length and breadth of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia. Values obtained were density, extension rate, and calcification rate. Tissue thickness, the depth to which skeletons were occupied by tissue at the time of collection, was also ...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
trace metal contents in the porites corals of peninsularmalaysia
the concentration contents of ca, mg, sr and zn in porites corals from pulau langkawi, pulau redang and pulau tioman were presented. the corals were cleaned and the growth rate examined visually. the growth rate of porites in malaysia waters was between 5 to 25 mm yr-1 and each band was selected for determining the metal contents using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (aas). the mean val...
متن کاملUnderstanding cold bias: Variable response of skeletal Sr/Ca to seawater pCO2 in acclimated massive Porites corals
Coral skeletal Sr/Ca is a palaeothermometer commonly used to produce high resolution seasonal sea surface temperature (SST) records and to investigate the amplitude and frequency of ENSO and interdecadal climate events. The proxy relationship is typically calibrated by matching seasonal SST and skeletal Sr/Ca maxima and minima in modern corals. Applying these calibrations to fossil corals assum...
متن کاملHigh Latitude Corals Tolerate Severe Cold Spell
Climatically extreme weather events often drive long-term ecological responses of ecosystems. By disrupting the important symbiosis with zooxanthellae, Marine Cold Spells (MCS) can cause bleaching and mortality in tropical and subtropical scleractinian corals. Here we report on the effects of a severe MCS on high latitude corals, where we expected to find bleaching and mortality. The MCS took p...
