Adaptation and the physiology of ocean acidification (2013, neutral): “Corals have received significant attention by OA researchers due to their ecological importance in tropical systems and due to a number of early studies that demonstrated dramatic effects of altered carbonate chemistry on their growth and rates of calcification (see Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007).”
The effect of ocean acidification on symbiont photorespiration and productivity in Acropora formosa (2010, background): “The increase in atmospheric CO2 leading to ocean acidification is expected to impact the calcification of coral reef organisms (Kleypas et al., 1999; Gattuso & Buddemeier, 2000; Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2007).”
Temporal changes in benthic assemblages on Florida Keys reefs 11 years after the 1997/1998 El Niño (2013, background): “…global climate change (e.g. decreased calcification, increased disease virulence, and bleaching) are projected to increase (Harvell et al. 2004, Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007, Baker et al. 2008), and considering that current environmental conditions and management actions have not fostered stony…”
Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review (2016, background): “Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, through global warming and ocean acidification, has already contributed to the degradation of these ecosystems and can exacerbate regional stressors [8,9].”
Morphological traits can track coral reef responses to the Anthropocene (2019, background): “However, anthropogenic activity may change the frequency and intensity of disturbance events and cause longer term changes to the environment (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2007; Wilkinson, 1999), compromising the recovery of ecosystem function in the long term.”
Bacterial assemblages differ between compartments within the coral holobiont (2011, background): “Thermal anomalies are expected to increase in both frequency and intensity because of climate change (HoeghGuldberg 1999; Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007), which will impose additional stress on corals and their microbial partners with uncertain consequences for the coral holobiont (Bourne et al.”
Ongoing global biodiversity loss and the need to move beyond protected areas: a review of the technical and practical shortcomings of protected areas on land and sea (2011, background): “At the same time, habitat loss resulting 258 Mora & Sale: Reassessment of protected areas from ocean warming, acidification and catastrophic weather might cause suitable patches to become more isolated (Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007).”
Effects of acidified seawater on early life stages of scleractinian corals (Genus Acropora) (2009, background): “Ocean acidification and climate change caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations threaten marine organisms, including corals [1].”
