Low net carbonate accretion characterizes Florida’s coral reef
Scientific Reports, 2022 Coral reef habitat is created when calcium carbonate production by calcifiers exceeds removal by physical and biological erosion. Carbonate budget surveys provide a means of quantifying the framework-altering actions of diverse assemblages of marine ...
