|a Anthropogenic increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide lead to warmer sea surface temperatures
and altered ocean chemistry. Experimental evidence suggests that coral calcification decreases
as aragonite saturation drops but increases as temperatures rise toward thresholds optimal for
coral growth. In situ studies have documented alarming recent declines in calcification rates on
several tropical coral reef ecosystems. We show there is no widespread pattern of consistent
decline in calcification rates of massive Porites during the 20th century on reefs spanning an
11° latitudinal range in the southeast Indian Ocean off Western Australia. Increasing calcification
rates on the high-latitude reefs contrast with the downward trajectory reported for corals on
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and provide additional evidence that recent changes in coral
calcification are responses to temperature rather than ocean acidification. |
