Incident light and morphology determine coral productivity along a shallow to mesophotic depth gradient
Abstract While the effects of irradiance on coral productivity are well known, corals along a shallow to mesophotic depth gradient (10–100 m) experience incident irradiances determined by the optical properties of the water column, coral morphology, and reef topography. Modeling of productivity (i.e...
