Response of Benthic Tropical Marine Macroalgae to Ocean Acidification ...
Macroalgae can modify coral reef ecosystem structure and function through a variety of mechanisms, including mediation of biogeochemistry through photosynthesis and the associated production of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Although DOC plays a critical role in sponge and microbial loops and coast...
