Effects of increased pCO 2 on zinc uptake and calcification in the tropical coral Stylophora pistillata
Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for corals. We investigated the effects of ocean acidification on zinc incorporation, photosynthesis, and gross calcification in the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata. Colonies were maintained at normal pH T (8.1) and at two low-pH conditions (7.8 and 7.5) f...
