Nutrient-rich submarine groundwater discharge increases algal carbon uptake in a tropical reef ecosystem
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in high volcanic islands can be an important source of freshwater and nutrients to coral reefs. High inorganic nutrient content is generally thought to augment primary production in coastal systems but when this is delivered via a freshwater vector as is the cas...
