Tropical ecosystem understanding is related to reef compartment functioning and to a lesser extent to mangrove systems. Reef metabolic budget is considered to be approximatively balanced with a very weak net production in spite of a large gross production (Crossland et al., 1991 Gattuso et al., 1993...
