“…arag values between 3-3.5) or extremely marginal conditions (! arag values below 3) almost everywhere by as early as 2050 (Kleypas et al, 1999;Guinotte et al, 2003;Langdon et al, 2005;Hoegh-Guldberg et al, 2007) causing substantial changes in species composition and in the dynamics of coral and other reef communities (Kuffner et al, 2008;Guinotte and Fabry, 2008;Doney et al, 2009). Similarly, marine plankton are also vulnerable (Riebesell et al 2000), presumably with ripple effects up the food chain.…”

“…Field observations at underwater CO 2 vents in Papua New Guinea and sites with high seawater pCO 2 in Palau have also shown that some reef calcifiers can persist in naturally acidified conditions [14,15]. For calcifying algae, the responses to increasing pCO 2 are diverse, with some studies reporting a decrease in calcification and an increase in bleaching in acidified conditions [16,17], and others detecting resistance to OA [12,18]. The mechanistic basis of the differing responses to OA exhibited by multiple species of corals and calcified algae remains unknown, although several causes have been proposed.…”

“…Higher availability of carbon and the subsequent changes in seawater nutrient composition, caused by the relatively lower availability of mineral nutrients compared to C, may also cause shifts in competitive interactions between algae (e.g. Kuffner et al 2007;Rost et al 2003;Swanson and Fox 2007;Tortell et al 2002), thus changing the community composition of primary producers, possibly leading to the loss of species or the replacement of some species with others. Taken together, these changes may alter the flow of energy and matter through the food web and modify the functioning of communities.…”
