Ocean acidification causes bleaching and productivity loss in coral reef builders.
Ocean acidification represents a key threat to coral reefs by reducing the calcification rate of framework builders. In addition, acidification is likely to affect the relationship between corals and their symbiotic dinoflagellates and the productivity of this association. However, little is known about how acidification impacts on the physiology of reef builders and how acidification interacts...
متن کاملResponse of Coral Reef Builders to Changes in Ocean Chemistry
GLOBAL climate change and the extensive coral bleaching that occurred in 1997-98 has been a source of wide-spread concern among scientists, managers and policy makers. Research indicates that rising sea temperatures associated with global climate change have been responsible for recent large scale bleaching and mortality events. However, increases in sea temperature are not the only concern to ...
متن کاملOcean acidification and warming will lower coral reef resilience
Ocean warming and acidification from increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 represent major global threats to coral reefs, and are in many regions exacerbated by local-scale disturbances such as overfishing and nutrient enrichment. Our understanding of global threats and local-scale disturbances on reefs is growing, but their relative contribution to reef resilience and vulnerability in the futur...
متن کاملEffects of Ocean Acidification on Learning in Coral Reef Fishes
Ocean acidification has the potential to cause dramatic changes in marine ecosystems. Larval damselfish exposed to concentrations of CO(2) predicted to occur in the mid- to late-century show maladaptive responses to predator cues. However, there is considerable variation both within and between species in CO(2) effects, whereby some individuals are unaffected at particular CO(2) concentrations ...
