“…C 3 photosynthesis fractionates at approximately -25‰ to -29‰ (O'Leary, 1988). Photosynthetic isotopic fractionation in corals can be quite variable at -10‰ to -30‰ (Hayes, 1993;Carvalho et al, 2015), but is, on average, more positive than the fractionation found in marine algae. Thus, we hypothesize that the greater relative abundance of algae resulted in greater isotopic fractionation in the front zone relative to the back zone.…”

“…Applying the range of ǫ CaCO 3 considered in this study (-5‰ to 5‰) to the Smith and Kroopnick (1981) ǫ would result in a range of ǫ OM between -23.6‰ to -13.6‰, which is lower, but still overlaps, with our ǫ OM . Carvalho et al (2015) similarly defined a community-scale DIC isotopic fractionation factor that aggregated photosynthesis and biogenic calcification, but excluded respiration and carbonate dissolution. They documented a much larger range in isotopic fractionation than we observed in our bootstrap analysis, however their mean isotope effect estimates tended to converge between -15‰ and -10‰.…”

“…More precise insights into the causes of such changes can, however, be identified provided the δ 13 C of primary production and respiration are known (vertical contours on Figure 3). Values for biological tissue in coral reef ecosystems range from À17 to À31‰ (Briand et al, 2015;Carvalho et al, 2015;Muscatine et al, 1989;Reynaud et al, 2004;Titlyanov et al, 2010) and here we use a value of À24‰, the median value from Briand et al (2015), allowing us to contour Figure 3 for the removal/addition of DIC alone (i.e., change in NEP; black lines), as well as for the removal/addition of ALK:DIC with a 2:1 ratio (i.e., change in NEC; gray lines).…”
