Reef Habitat Type and Spatial Extent as Interacting Controls on Platform-Scale Carbonate Budgets

A coral reefs carbonate budget strongly influences reef structural complexity and net reef growth potential, and thus is increasingly recognized as a key “health” metric. Despite this, understanding of habitat specific budget states, how these scale across reef platforms, and our ability to quantify...
