 *Description:*
"Research in coral reef carbonate chemistry shows there may be variable
responses to ocean acidification within and across reef sites. Vastly
different natural reef CO2 chemistry ranges at different sites - many
exceeding projected changes in pH decline by year 2100 -- likely interact
with reef community composition and local human stressors to form
differential susceptibility of coral reefs to continued acidification. We
need to address whether higher variability on reefs confers resistance and
resilience to ocean acidification. This session hopes to bring together
reef field case studies, syntheses, and models pointing to why, how and
what reefs could be hotspots for resilience in the future."
