Reviews and syntheses: Revisiting the boron systematics of aragonite and their application to coral calcification

The isotopic and elemental systematics of boron in aragonitic coral skeletons have recently been developed as a proxy for the carbonate chemistry of the coral extracellular calcifying fluid. With knowledge of the boron isotopic fractionation in seawater and the B∕Ca partition coefficient (<i&g...
