Physiological acclimatization in Hawaiian corals following a 22-month shift in baseline seawater temperature and pH

Abstract Climate change poses a major threat to coral reefs. We conducted an outdoor 22-month experiment to investigate if coral could not just survive, but also physiologically cope, with chronic ocean warming and acidification conditions expected later this century under the Paris Climate Agreemen...
