“…Studies of processes such as dissolution of reef CaCO 3 sediments (e.g., Yates and Halley, 2006;Andersson et al, 2007Andersson et al, , 2009Tribollet et al, 2009;Rao et al, 2012;Comeau et al, 2015;Rodolfo-Metalpa et al, 2015;Yamamoto et al, 2015), pore water and alkalinity fluxes from the sediment (e.g., Falter and Sansone, 2000;Santos et al, 2011Santos et al, , 2012aCyronak et al, 2013a,b), and coral bioerosion (e.g., Wisshak et al, 2012;Crook et al, 2013;Enochs et al, 2015;Kline et al, 2015) all contribute to elucidating the complex controls and responses of coral reefs to changes in ocean chemistry.…”
