• Concentration boundary layers around complex assemblages of macroalgae: Implications for the effects of ocean acidification on understory coralline algae (2013, background): “…(De Beer et al. 2000), phytoplankton (Rink et al. 1998), benthic diatoms (Roberts et al. 2007), and other macroalgae (De Beer and Larkum 2001; Larkum et al. 2003), with pH rising to between 8.2–9.6 in the light due to photosynthesis and decreasing to 8.1–7.0 in darkness due to respiration…”
• Water flow influences oxygen transport and photosynthetic efficiency in corals (2006, background): “Inorganic carbon (Ci) has also been identified as a limiting nutrient for both corals and epilithic algae (Jones et al. 1998; Larkum et al. 2003).”
• Chapter 7 Vulnerability of macroalgae of the Great Barrier Reef to climate change (2007, background): “2005), but there are few specific examples demonstrating carbon limitation of growth of turf algae or fleshy macroalgae from coral reefs (Enríquez & Rodríguez-Román 2006), including the GBR (Larkum et al. 2003).”
• Effects of benthic algae on the replenishment of corals and the implications for the resilience of coral reefs (2008, background): “…simultaneously fixing nitrogen (for cyanobacteria only), phosphorous and carbon, thereby generating localised gradients in oxygenation and nutrient concentrations that radiate from individual algae and assemblages (reviewed in carpenter et al. 1991, Amsler et al. 1992, larkum et al. 2003).”
• Biological mechanisms supporting adaptation to ocean acidification in coastal ecosystems (2015, unknown): “For example, primary productivity of an epilithic alga on a dead coral became mass-transport limited with respect to CO2 as a pH gradient developed at light irradiances over 500 µmol photons m-2 s-1 (maximum pH of 8.7-8.9; Larkum et al., 2003).”
