Abstract

Community metabolism (primary production, respiration and calcification) and air-sea CO2 fluxes of the 'Tiahura barrier reef' (Moorea, French Polynesia) were investigated in November and December 1991 Gross production and respiration were respectively 640.2 to 753 and 590.4 to 641.5 mm01 (02 or CO2) m-' d-l (7.7 to 9.0 and 7.1 to 7.7 g C m-2 d ') and the reef displayed a slightly negative excess (= net) production.The contribution of planktonic primary production to reef metabolism was negligible (0.15 ?4, of total gross production).Net calcification was positive both during the day and at night; its daily value was 243 mm01 CaCO, m-2 d -' (24.3 g CaC03 m m 2 d-l).Reef metabolism decreased seawater total CO2 by 433.3 mm01 m--d-' The air-sea CO, fluxes were close to zero in the ocean but displayed a strong daily pattern at the reef front and the back reef.Fluxes were positive (COz evasion) at night, decreased as irradiance increased and were negative during the day (COz invasion) Integration of the fluxes measured during a 24 h experiment at the back reef showed that the reef was a source of CO2 to the atmosphere (1 5 minol m-2 d-l).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
