Light-enhanced calcification in hermatypic corals: new insights from light spectral responses

Light-enhanced calcification in hermatypic corals: new insights from light spectral responses

Light enhanced calcification (LEC) is a well documented phenomenon in reef-building corals. The main mechanism proposed for LEC is that photosynthetic CO2 uptake by the algal symbionts elevates the pH and thus enhances calcification. We evaluated the role of light and of photosynthesis on calcificat...
