The boring microflora in modern coral reef ecosystems: a review of its roles (2008, background): “Recently, a few studies showed the necessity of studying simultaneously constructive and destructive processes in coral reefs in order to estimate their state of health under different environmental conditions (Edinger et al. 2000; Risk et al. 2001; Tribollet and Golubic 2005; Harborne et al. 2006; ”
Effects of phosphate on growth and skeletal density in the scleractinian coral Acropora muricata: A controlled experimental approach (2012, background): “Edinger and Risk (1994; Edinger et al., 2000) have deemed this phenomenon “the Janus effect”, where an increase in coral growth rates cannot compensate for the additional pressures associated with eutrophic conditions affecting accretion rates, and reef growth is inhibited.”
Mollusc Shell Encrustation and Bioerosion Rates in a Modern Epeiric Sea: Taphonomy Experiments in the Java Sea, Indonesia (2002, methodology): “Sediment resuspen- sion rate was measured at Panjang and Cemara using sediment traps (Edinger et al., 2000a).”
Heterotrophic and autotrophic assimilation of fatty acids by two scleractinian corals, Montastraea faveolata and Porites astreoides (2011, background): “The increased availability of heterotrophic energy and nutrient sources in nearshore coastal habitats has been linked to higher coral growth, increased energy storage, and increased resilience to disturbances such as coral bleaching (Edinger et al. 2000; Anthony 2006; Rodrigues and Grottoli 2007).”
Bioerosion: the other ocean acidification problem: Towards a Broader Perspective on Ocean Acidification Research Part 2 A special issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science (2017, background): “…beyond the experimental situation and may even be misinterpreted, especially when the response data only stem from part of the present bioeroder community (e.g. Edinger et al., 2000; Islam et al., 2012; Silbiger et al., 2014; DeCarlo et al., 2015; Stubler and Peterson, 2016; Silbiger et al., 2016).”
Effects of elevated pCO2 on dissolution of coral carbonates by microbial euendoliths (2009, background): “corals and coralline algae, but they also lose framework from bioerosion [Scoffin et al., 1980;Hutchings, 1986;Glynn, 1997; Edinger et al., 2000;Wilkinson, 2000].”
