Dynamics of ocean acidity, CO2 fluxes and metabolic rates on a shallow reef of Weizhou Island: a buoy-based observational study - Ocean Acidification

Highlights Abstract The metabolic processes of calcification and production serve as crucial indicators of how environmental changes impact reef health. Previous studies suggest that Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) primarily drives Net Ecosystem Calcification (NEC) in the short-term. However, the functional relationship between these two carbon metabolisms remains poorly understood. We employed a mooring buoy approach […] The post Dynamics of oce…
