    Physical, chemical and biological characteristics of CO2 gas flux across the air-water interface (1985)

    Notes: Abstract Carbon dioxide gas flux across the air-water interface is most often treated as a ‘simple’ physical process, primarily responding to wind speed and water temperature. Available experimental data yield an exponential regression equation relating wind speed to the thickness of a stagnant boundary film through which gas diffuses to or from the water. Flux of CO2 is influenced by CO2 hydration reactions in the stagnant boundary layer. High pH and a thick stagnant boundary layer favour chemical enhancement of the CO2 gas flux.The rate of CO2 flux reflects the sum of net organic metabolism plus CaCO3 reactions. Some interesting gas-flux constraints on the rate of net organic carbon production and on global geochemical cycling of CaCO3 emerge. At high pH (circa 10), the maximum net organic carbon production which can be supported by CO2 flux across the air-water interface is about 0.06 mol C m&2 d&1. On a global scale, organic C, not atmospheric C, appears to account for the ‘CO2’ term in the classical CaCO3 dissolution-precipitation reaction.

    Notes: [Auszug] An aquatic ecosystem isolated from exogenous inputs of organic material must have a long-term net organic production rate which equals or exceeds zero.

    Notes: [Auszug] In our first experiment, we placed specimens of the common Indo-Pacific reef-building coral, Pocillopora damicornis, in a 90-litre aquarium and alternately placed the aquarium in sunlight and darkness during a 6-h period. The aquarium was covered with a sheet of clear plastic (Mylar) to impede gas ...

    Response of coral reef cryptofaunal communities to food and space (1983)

    Notes: Summary Components of benthic communities in a coral reef system subjected to elevated particulate organic loading show differential biomass responses to this food resource. The macrofaunal biomass of the hard-bottom cryptofaunal community was elevated under such loading; termination of the nutrient input resulted in a rapid decline in hard substratum cryptofaunal biomass. In contrast, adjacent soft substratum communities showed minor variation in macrofaunal biomass. Such pronounced changes in hard-bottom communities to nutrient loading suggests that these endolithic components may be more responsive to and closely regulated by food than are their soft substratum counterparts. Thus, hard-bottom communities probably yield more information than soft-bottom assemblages in sewage (nutrient loading) studies on coral reefs.

    Coral reef growth in an era of rapidly rising sea level: predictions and suggestions for long-term research (1988)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Coral reef growth is intimately linked to sea level. It has been postulated that over the next century, sea level will rise at a probable average rate of 15 mm/year, in response to fossil fuel emissions, heating, and melting of the Antarctic ice cap. This predicted rate of sea level rise is five times the present modal rate of vertical accretion on coral reef flats and 50% greater than the maximum vertical accretion rates apparently attained by coral reefs. We use these predictions and observations to offer the following hypothesis for reef growth over the next century. The vertical accretion rates of protected reef flats will accelerate from the present modal rate up to the maximum rate, in response to the more rapidly rising sea level. This more rapid vertical accretion rate will be insufficient to keep up with sea level rise, if present predictions prove to be correct. Less protected reef flats will slow their rate of growth as they become inundated and subjected to erosion by progressively larger waves. This projected sea level rise and postulated reef response will provide an opportunity for long-term studies of the response of coral reef systems to a predictable and measurable forcing function. If the scientific benefits from this uncontrolled global experiment are to be maximized, it will be necessary to establish a permanent international coordinating body to assist with the identification and preservation of long-term study sites and to provide guidelines for baseline data surverys, methods selection and comparison, and other procedures and decisions.

    Role of coral reefs in global ocean production (1991)
    Springer
    Coral reefs 10 (1991), S. 55-64

    Notes: Abstract Coral reefs cover some 600 thousand square kilometres of the earth's surface (0.17% of the ocean surface). First order estimates show coral reefs to contribute about 0.05% of the estimated net CO2 fixation rate of the global oceans. Gross CO2 fixation is relatively high (of the order 700×1012 g C year-1), but most of this material is recycled within the reefs. Excess (net) production of organic material (E) is much smaller, of the order 20×1012 g C year-1. We estimate that 3×1012 g C year-1 (15% ofE) is buried in reef structure, 2×1012 g C year-1 (10% ofE) is available for sustained human harvest, and the remaining 75% ofE is available for export from coral reefs to adjacent areas. Comparison of estimates for net production by reefs and their surrounding oceans indicates that the excess production by coral reefs is similar to new production in the photic zone of oligotrophic oceans. Consequently, estimates for global ocean production should as a first approximation include reefal areas with the surrounding ocean when assigning average net production rates. While there are significant uncertainties in these numbers, it can be concluded that organic production by reefs plays a relatively minor role in the global scale of fluxes and storage of elements. In comparison, the companion process of biologically-mediated inorganic carbon precipitation represents a major role for reefs. While reef production does respond on local scales to variation in ocean climate, neither the absolute rates nor the amount accumulated into organic pools appear to be either sensitive indicators or accurate recorders of climatic change in most reef systems. Similarly, the productivity of most reefs should be little affected by currently predicted environmental changes resulting from the Greenhouse effect.
