Bioerosion: the other ocean acidification problem [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2017 Bioerosion of calcium carbonate is the natural counterpart of biogenic calcification. Both are affected by ocean acidification (OA). We summarize definitions and concepts in bioerosion research and knowledge in the context of OA, providing case examples and meta-analyses.

Effects of ocean acidification and global warming on reef bioerosion—lessons from a clionaid sponge [PDF]
Aquatic Biology, 2013 Coral reefs are under threat, exerted by a number of interacting effects inherent to the present climate change, including ocean acidification and global warming.

Bioerosion Research in the South China Sea: Scarce, Patchy and Unrepresentative
Oceans, 2023 Coral reefs are in decline globally, resulting in changed constructive and destructive processes. The South China Sea is a marginal sea that is of high biological importance, but also subjected to extreme local and global pressures.

Corals and Reef-Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

A Novel μCT Analysis Reveals Different Responses of Bioerosion and Secondary Accretion to Environmental Variability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Corals build reefs through accretion of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) skeletons, but net reef growth also depends on bioerosion by grazers and borers and on secondary calcification by crustose coralline algae and other calcifying invertebrates.

Ciencias Marinas, 2021 El desarrollo y el mantenimiento de los arrecifes coralinos depende del balance entre la producción (acreción) y la remoción (erosión) del CaCO3 generado principalmente por corales hermatípicos.

Bioerosion of reef-building crustose coralline algae by endolithic invertebrates in an upwelling-influenced reef [PDF]
, 2021 Coral reef growth is primarily determined by constructive and bioerosive processes acting on key reef-building organisms. Among them, corals are major contributors to the construction of reef frameworks, while crustose coralline algae (CCA) primarily ...

Hidden Fungal Diversity of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis study reveals diverse cultivable fungi associated with the red coral Corallium rubrum, highlighting both potentially beneficial and pathogenic species. These findings emphasize the biotechnological relevance and ecological impact of coral‐associated fungi, especially as climate change may increase disease risks.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionCoral reef ecosystems are experiencing increased rates of carbonate dissolution due to losses in live coral cover coupled with the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on coral reef calcifiers and bioeroders. While the stimulating effect of OA

Global Change Is Reshaping Coral Communities and Threatening Reef Physical Functionality. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolSequential stressors selectively remove sensitive, architecturally complex coral species, shifting reefs from foundation‐species to opportunistic communities. As diversity, structural complexity, carbonate production and functional capacity decline, coral cover may remain stable.
