The pulsating soft coral Xenia umbellata shows high resistance to warming when nitrate concentrations are low
Abstract The resistance of hard corals to warming can be negatively affected by nitrate eutrophication, but related knowledge for soft corals is scarce. We thus investigated the ecophysiological response of the pulsating soft coral Xenia umbellata to different levels of nitrate eutrophication (contr...
