[Coral-List] Quantify coral as CO2 sink

[Verena Wiesbauer Ali]

Dear listers,

I hope I can address some specialists who are working on calcification rates
in corals and CO2 absorption.

Is it possible to - approximately - quantify the amount of atmospheric CO2
that is absorbed by coral (poly/colony/reef - size?) in order to calculate
how much an artificial reef of a certain size would contribute to CO2 sink?
I know it's very theoretic, but maybe the experts of you could recommend me
literature on this topic or we could even start conversations about it.

Thank you in advance,
Verena
