attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Methods reprinted from Barkley et al. 2017:  \nCoral collection:\\u00a0Coral plugs were collected in December 2012 from\nmassive Porites colonies at a naturally low-\\u03a9ar reef site (7.324 N,\n134.493 E; mean \\u03a9ar = 2.3; n = 78) and a naturally high-\\u03a9ar reef\nsite (7.268 N, 134.522 E; mean \\u03a9ar = 3.7; n = 75). At each reef site,\nsmall skeletal cores (diameter = 3.5 cm) were removed from massive colonies\n(one core per colony) at 2-3m depth using underwater pneumatic drills, and\ncores were cut with a lapidary table saw to approximately 1 cm below the\ntissue layer. The plugs were affixed to nylon square base screws with marine\nepoxy, secured to egg crate racks, and returned to their original reefs to\nallow the corals to recover from the coring procedure. All corals survived two\nmonths of recovery on the reef and on all corals living tissue had fully\novergrown the sides of the plugs so that no underlying skeleton was exposed.\nCorals were recovered in February 2013.\n \nReciprocal transplant experiment:\\u00a0The reciprocal transplant experiment\nwas conducted concurrently with the CO2 manipulation experiment. Initial\nbuoyant weight measurements were obtained for all corals prior to\ntransplantation. Of the corals collected from the low-\\u03a9ar reef and from\nthe high-\\u03a9ar reef (n = 44 for each reef), approximately half of the\ncorals in each group was returned to their reef of origin (low-\\u03a9ar to\nlow-\\u03a9ar: n = 23, high-\\u03a9ar to high-\\u03a9ar: n = 21), while the\nremaining corals were transplanted to the opposite reef (low-\\u03a9ar to\nhigh-\\u03a9ar: n = 21, high-\\u03a9ar to low-\\u03a9ar: n = 23). All corals were\ntransplanted to the same depth (5m). In May 2013, after eight weeks in the\nfield (and at the end of the CO2 manipulation experiment), approximately half\nof the corals from each reef (n = 10-12 per transplant group) were recovered\nand weighed. The remaining corals were left out on the two reefs for 17 months\n(n = 10-11 per group). In August 2014, these corals were recovered from the\nreef.\\u00a0Corals were evaluated for partial or total mortality, and were\njudged to be alive (no visible tissue death observed), partially dead (visible\ntissue death and/or tissue recession but some living tissue remaining), or\ndead (no living tissue remaining). Buoyant weights were collected for all\ncorals to determine overall calcification rates during the reciprocal\ntransplant period. Because coral tissue is assumed to be neutrally buoyant\n(i.e. it does not contribute to buoyant weight measurements) and the timing of\ntissue death during the 17-month transplant was unknown, the overall change in\nskeletal mass was calculated and reported for all corals regardless of\nmortality status.

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String Coral Reef Ecosystem OA Impact
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Coral Reef Ecosystem OA Impact
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String text copied from the NSF award abstract: \nMuch of our understanding of the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef calcification comes from laboratory manipulation experiments in which reef organisms are removed from their natural habitat and reared under conditions of calcium carbonate saturation (Omega) predicted for the tropical oceans at the end of this century. By comparison, there is a paucity of in situ data describing the sensitivity of coral reef ecosystems to changes in calcium carbonate saturation. Yet emerging evidence suggests there may be critical differences between the calcification response of organisms in culture and the net calcification response of a coral reef ecosystem, to the same degree of change in calcium carbonate saturation. In the majority of cases, the sensitivity of net reef calcification to changing calcium carbonate saturation is more severe than laboratory manipulation experiments predict. Clearly, accurate predictions of the response of coral reef ecosystems to 21st century ocean acidification will depend on a robust characterization of ecosystem-scale responses and an understanding of the fundamental processes that shape them. Using existing data, the investigators show that the sensitivity of coral reef ecosystem calcification to Delta calcium carbonate saturation conforms to the empirical rate equation R=k(Aragonite saturation state -1)n, which also describes the relationship between the rate of net abiogenic CaCO3 precipitation (R) and the degree of Aragonite supersaturation (Aragonite saturation state-1). By implication, the net ecosystem calcification (NEC) response to ocean acidification is governed by fundamental laws of physical chemistry and is potentially predictable across space and time. When viewed this way, the existing, albeit sparse, dataset of NEC reveals distinct patterns that, if verified, have important implications for how different coral reef ecosystems will respond to 21st century ocean acidification. The investigators have outlined a research program designed to build on this proposition. The project expands the currently sparse dataset of ecosystem-scale observations at four strategically placed reef sites: 2 sites in the Republic of Palau, Caroline Islands, Micronesia, western Pacific Ocean; a third at Dongsha Atoll, Pratas Islands, South China Sea; and the fourth at Kingman Reef, US Northern Line Islands, 6 deg. 23 N, 162 deg. 25 W.  The four selected sites will allow investigators to test the following hypotheses: (1) The sensitivity (\"n\" in the rate equation) of coral reef ecosystem calcification to Delta Aragonite saturation state decreases with decreasing Aragonite saturation state. By implication, the rate at which reef calcification declines will slow as ocean acidification progresses over the course of this century. (2) The energetic status of the calcifying community is a key determinant of absolute rates of net ecosystem calcification (\"k\" in the rate equation), which, combined with n, defines the Aragonite saturation state value at which NEC approaches zero. By implication, the shift from net calcification to net dissolution will be delayed in healthy, energetically replete coral reef ecosystems and accelerated in perturbed, energetically depleted ecosystems. and (3) The calcification response of individual colonies of dominant reef calcifiers (corals and algae) is weaker than the measured ecosystem-scale response to the same change in Aragonite saturation state. By implication, processes not adequately captured in laboratory experiments, such as bioerosion and dissolution, will play an important role in the coral reef response to ocean acidification.\nBroader Impacts: Ocean acidification threatens the livelihoods of 500 million people worldwide who depend on coral reefs to provide habitable and agricultural land, food, building materials, coastal protection and income from tourism. Yet data emerging from ocean acidification (OA) studies point to critical gaps in our knowledge of reef ecosystem-scale responses to OA that currently limit our ability to predict the timing and severity of its impact on different reefs in different parts of the world. Using existing data generated by the investigators and others, this project will address a series of related hypotheses, which, if verified by the research, will have an immediate, direct impact on predictions of coral reef resilience in a high CO2 world. This project brings together expertise in coral reef biogeochemistry, chemical oceanography and physical oceanography to focus on a problem that has enormous societal, economic and conservation relevance. In addition to sharing the resultant data via BCO-DMO, project data will also be contributed to the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC) data collection hosted at the PANGAEA Open Access library (http://www.pangaea.de).
