[Coral-List] Question Thermal vs pH shift

[Allen Chen]

Hi, Thomas

In your e-mail you have stated " There is clear evidence of

> this results in coral communities, not coral reefs, which take
> centuries to thousands of years to develop. Even if the corals could

> evidence that they can on the time scale that would be needed, the

> years for new reefs to be established."

This is an interesting observation. I am wondering you can provide  
the list of references that we can read?

thank you in advance.

Cheers, Allen
