Comment on "Preindustrial to Modern Interdecadal Variability in Coral Reef pH"

Based on the boron isotopic composition of coral from the southwestern Pacific, Pelejero et al . (Reports, 30 September 2005, p. 2204) suggested that natural variations in pH can modulate the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems. We show that this claim cannot be reconciled with ot...
