Role of shallow water carbonate sediment dissolution in the future accretion of coral reefs in an acidifying ocean<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Abstract:<\/span><\/u><\/strong> Ocean acidification (OA) is predicted to have a significant impact on the future of coral reefs, mainly through the reduced formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3<\/sub>). However, the dissolution of stored CaCO3 <\/sub>has largely been overlooked in the OA community. CaCO3<\/sub> sediments represent the largest reservoir of carbonate minerals in coral reefs and result from the accumulation and storage of CaCO3<\/sub> material over thousands of years. Benthic chamber incubations in permeable CaCO3<\/sub> sediments show that aragonite saturation in the overlying water is a strong predictor of CaCO3<\/sub> sediment dissolution and most reefs show a similar response to increasing average p<\/span><\/em>CO2<\/sub> (OA). However, every reef shows a different net sediment dissolution starting condition and the effect of end of century OA conditions on net sediment dissolution is different for every reef. Empirical relationships between average aragonite saturation and net ecosystem calcification, coral calcification and sediment dissolution from reefs around the globe are used to quantify future changes in the CaCO3<\/sub> accretion of coral reefs. Quantifying the global dissolution kinetics of permeable CaCO3<\/sub> sediments is clearly just as important as estimating calcification rates when predicting how OA will impact coral reef ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n
