Hello all,
I would like to bring your attention to a recent article we published
regarding the acidification of coral reefs and biogeochemical feedbacks
within these ecosystems. A compilation of pCO2 data from coral reefs
since the 1960s shows they reefs are acidifying ~3.5-times faster than
the open ocean. Using a model we demonstrate that modest changes to the
metabolic processes of coral reefs from regional anthropogenic
perturbations could explain this trend. The link to the article is below.
