Two coral reef sediments have been subjected to OA scenarios in the laboratory. Sediments from Magnetic Island (year 2014, 3 pCO2 treatments) were investigated under diffusive conditions in flumes. Parameters studied were: oxygen fluxes, porewater pH and oxygen concentrations. Sulfate reduction rate...
