Endolithic Algae Affect Modern Coral Carbonate Morphology and Chemistry

Endolithic Algae Affect Modern Coral Carbonate Morphology and Chemistry

While burial diagenetic processes of tropical corals are well investigated, current knowledge about factors initiating early diagenesis remains fragmentary. In the present study, we focus on recent Porites microatolls, growing in the intertidal zone. This growth form represents a model organism for...
