Alkalinity to calcium flux ratios for corals and coral reef communities: variances between isolated and community conditions
Calcification in reef corals and coral reefs is widely measured using the alkalinity depletion method which is based on the fact that two protons are produced for every mole of CaCO3 precipitated. This assumption was tested by measuring the total alkalinity (TA) flux and Ca2+ flux of isolated compon...
