“…There are some exceptions to this; for example, in the Gulf of Eilat, Red Sea, the reef maintained positive NEC throughout the night (Silverman et al., 2007) and a barrier reef flat in Hawaii was net dissolving at night in only about half of the measurements (Shamberger et al., 2011). In contrast, some reefs and reef sediments already show seasonal net dissolution (Eyre et al., 2018; Meléndez et al., 2018; Muehllehner et al., 2016; Stoltenberg et al., 2019). Periods of net dissolution have been attributed to instances of very high cloud cover and turbidity (Takeshita et al., 2016; Yates & Halley, 2006) regional acidification events (Yeakel et al., 2015) or when the reef is net heterotrophic (e.g., negative net ecosystem production; NEP; N. Bates et al., 2009, 2010; McMahon et al., 2013).…”
