(2010): Zooxanthellate colonies of Oculina arbuscula were collected offshore of Bogue Banks North Carolina in August 2007. After collection, the organisms were transported to the Marine Calcification Laboratory at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. After acclimation to the laboratory conditions, fragments of each colony were harvested and mounted on acrylic slides. Specimens were then transferred to the experimental seawaters for additional acclimation for 14 days prior to the start of the experiment. The O. arbuscula specimens were reared for 60 days from Sept. to Nov. 2007 in four 38-liter glass aquaria filled with filtered seawater. The experimental seawaters were bubbled continuously with air-CO2 mixtures of 409, 606, 903, or 2856 ppm pCO2. Temperature was maintained at 25 +/- 1 degrees Celsius. Aquaria were illuminated 10 hours per day. Seventy-five percent seawater changes were made every 14 days. Coral fragments were fed Artemia sp. every other day. The experimental air-CO2 gas mixtures were formulated using Aalborg mass flow controllers, yielding average seawater saturation states of 2.6, 2.3, 1.6, and 0.8 with respect to aragonite. Salinity, temperature, and pH of the seawaters, and pCO2 of the mixed gases were measured weekly. Total alkalinity was measured every 2 weeks. DIC, bicarbonate ion concentration, dissolved CO2, aragonite saturation state, and pCO2 were calculated from the measured parameters. Refer to Table 1 of [Ries et al. (2010) ](\\\\\"https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00338-010-0632-3\\\\\")for more detail on the measured and calculated carbonate chemistry parameters, including mean, range, and standard deviation. A buoyant weighing method was used to estimate the corals' calcification rates. Calcification rates were calculated as the percent change in buoyant weight between the beginning and end of the experiment. Each aquarium was dosed with 137BaCO3 for 14 days at the beginning of the experiment. After 14 days, the 137Ba-enriched seawaters were replaced with seawaters of natural Ba isotopic composition. This temporary increase in the concentration of Barium-137 in the experimental seawaters resulted in a five- fold spike in the ratio of Ba-137 to Ba-138 in the coral skeletons accreted during the first 14 days of the experiment. This spike provided the baseline from which linear extension of the coral skeletons could be measured. Four coral specimens were randomly selected from each of the treatments and sectioned parallel to the growth axis. 137Ba/138Ba ratios were measured using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. To determine linear extension, the time elapsed from the detection of the 137Ba/138Ba spike and the outer edge of the coral skeleton was converted to distance by multiplying the elapsed time by the scan rate of the laser."; String awards_0_award_nid "54896"; String awards_0_award_number "OCE-1041106"; String awards_0_data_url "http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=1041106"; String awards_0_funder_name "NSF Division of Ocean Sciences"; String awards_0_funding_acronym "NSF OCE"; String awards_0_funding_source_nid "355"; String awards_0_program_manager "David L.

This research project is part of the larger NSF funded CRI-OA collaborative research initiative and was funded as an Ocean Acidification-Category 1, 2010 award. Over the course of this century, all tropical coral reef ecosystems, whether fringing heavily populated coastlines or lining remote islands and atolls, face unprecedented threat from ocean acidification caused by rising levels of atmospheric CO2. In many laboratory experiments conducted to date, calcium carbonate production (calcification) by scleractinian (stony) corals showed an inverse correlation to seawater saturation state OMEGAar), whether OMEGAar was manipulated by acid or CO2 addition. Based on these data, it is predicted that coral calcification rates could decline by up to 80% of modern values by the end of this century. A growing body of new experimental data however, suggests that the coral calcification response to ocean acidification may be less straightforward and a lot more variable than previously recognized. In at least 10 recent experiments including our own, 8 different tropical and temperate species reared under nutritionally-replete but significantly elevated CO2 conditions (780-1200 ppm, OMEAGar ~1.5-2), continued to calcify at rates comparable to conspecifics reared under ambient CO2. These experimental results are consistent with initial field data collected on reefs in the eastern Pacific and southern Oman, where corals today live and accrete their skeletons under conditions equivalent to 2X and 3X pre-industrial CO2. On these high CO2, high nutrient reefs (where nitrate concentrations typically exceed 2.5 micro-molar), coral growth rates rival, and sometimes even exceed, those of conspecifics in low CO2, oligotrophic reef environments. The investigators propose that a coral's energetic status, tightly coupled to the availability of inorganic nutrients and/or food, is a key factor in the calcification response to CO2-induced ocean acidification. Their hypothesis, if confirmed by the proposed laboratory investigations, implies that predicted changes in coastal and open ocean nutrient concentrations over the course of this century, driven by both climate impacts on ocean stratification and by increased human activity in coastal regions, could play a critical role in exacerbating and in some areas, modulating the coral reef response to ocean acidification. This research program builds on the investigators initial results and observations. The planned laboratory experiments will test the hypothesis that: (1) The coral calcification response to ocean acidification is linked to the energetic status of the coral host. The relative contribution of symbiont photosynthesis and heterotrophic feeding to a coral's energetic status varies amongst species. Enhancing the energetic status of corals reared under high CO2, either by stimulating photosynthesis with inorganic nutrients or by direct heterotrophic feeding of the host lowers the sensitivity of calcification to decreased seawater OMEGAar; (2) A species-specific threshold CO2 level exists over which enhanced energetic status can no longer compensate for decreased OMEGAar of the external seawater. Similarly, we will test the hypothesis that a nutrient threshold exists over which nutrients become detrimental for calcification even under high CO2 conditions; and (3) Temperature-induced reduction of algal symbionts is one stressor that can reduce the energetic reserve of the coral host and exacerbate the calcification response to ocean acidification. The investigator's initial findings highlight the critical importance of energetic status in the coral calcification response to ocean acidification. Verification of these findings in the laboratory, and identification of nutrient and CO2 thresholds for a range of species will have immediate, direct impact on predictions of reef resilience in a high CO2 world. The research project brings together a diverse group of expertise in coral biogeochemistry, chemical oceanography, molecular biology and coral reproductive ecology to focus on a problem that has enormous societal, economic and conservation relevance."; String projects_0_end_date "2013-09"; String projects_0_geolocation "global; experimental"; String projects_0_name "An Investigation of the Role of Nutrition in the Coral Calcification Response to Ocean Acidification"; String projects_0_project_nid "2183"; String projects_0_start_date "2010-10"; String publisher_name "Biological and Chemical Oceanographic Data Management Office (BCO-DMO)"; String publisher_type "institution"; String sourceUrl "(local files)"; String standard_name_vocabulary "CF Standard Name Table v55"; String subsetVariables "species"; String summary "Data from experiments examining the effect of CO2-induced ocean acidification on the scleractinian coral Oculina arbuscula.
