[Coral-List] Temperature and elevated pCO2

[Gattuso, Jean-Pierre]

Hi:

The following papers address the interaction between temperature and 
elevated pCO2:

Kleypas J. A., Buddemeier R. W., Eakin C. M., Gattuso J.-P., Guinotte 
J., Hoegh-Guldberg O., Iglesias-Prieto R., Jokiel P. L., Langdon C., 
Skirving O. W. & Strong A. E., 2005. Comment on “Coral reef 
calcification and climate change: The effect of ocean warming”. 
Geophysical Research Letters L08601. doi:10.1029/2004GL022329.

Reynaud S., Leclercq N., Romaine-Lioud S., Ferrier-Pagès C., Jaubert J. 
& Gattuso J.-P., 2003. Interacting effects of CO2 partial pressure and 
temperature on photosynthesis and calcification in a scleractinian 
coral. Global Change Biology 9(11):1660-1668.
