Photosynthesis and respiration of the soft coral Xenia umbellata respond to warming but not to organic carbon eutrophication

Eutrophication with dissolved organic carbon (DOC) as a far under-investigated stressor, and ocean warming, can strongly affect coral reefs and hard corals as major reefs ecosystem engineers. However, no previous studies have investigated the metabolic responses of soft corals to DOC eutrophication,...
