Emergent Properties Of Branching Morphologies Modulate The Sensitivity Of Coral Calcification To High P-co2
Experiments with coral fragments (i.e. nubbins) have shown that net calcification is depressed by elevated P-CO2. Evaluating the implications of this finding requires scaling of results from nubbins to colonies, yet the experiments to codify this process have not been carried out. Building from our...

Experiments with coral fragments (i.e. nubbins) have shown that net calcification is depressed by elevated P-CO2. Evaluating the implications of this finding requires scaling of results from nubbins to colonies, yet the experiments to codify this process have not been carried out. Building from our previous research demonstrating that net calcification of Pocillopora verrucosa (2-13 cm diameter) was unaffected by P-CO2 (400 and 1000 mu atm) and temperature (26.5 and 29.7 degrees C), we sought generality to this outcome by testing how colony size modulates P-CO2 and temperature sensitivity in a branching acroporid. Together, these taxa represent two of the dominant lineages of branching corals on Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Two trials conducted over 2 years tested the hypothesis that the seasonal range in seawater temperature (26.5 and 29.2 degrees C) and a future P-CO2 (1062 mu atm versus an ambient level of 461 mu atm) affect net calcification of an ecologically relevant size range (5-20 cm diameter) of colonies of Acropora hyacinthus.
