Calcification by crustose coralline algae on the northern Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Open accessAbstract
Calcification by four species of crustose coralline algae was estimated on the windward reef at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef, Australia, by combining measurements of O 2, pH, and total alkalinity with equations describing the seawater carbonate equilibrium. Calcification (C) was regressed against irradiance (I) and modeled using a general exponential function. C‐I models yielded estimates of gross calcification that ranged from 9.6 mmol CaCO 3 m−2 h−1 at 0 m to 2.0 mmol CaCO 3 m−2 h−1 at 18 m. A significant proportion of all samples exhibited CaCO3 dissolution in the dark. Integration of C‐I models with half sine‐curve approximations of whole‐day irradiance yielded estimated net deposition rates of 0.82 to 9.1 g CaCO 3 m−2 d−1. Net 24‐h calcification was linearly correlated with noontime irradiance. Daily CaCO 3 deposition as a function of reef surface relief (3.1 for the crest and 5.0 for the slope) indicated potential contributions to reef accretion of 4.1 to 28.1 g m−2 d−1, assuming 100% coralline cover. These estimates predict annual deposition rates of 1.5 to 10.3 kg CaCO 3 m−2 yr−1, provided that measurements made between late summer and mid‐winter are representative of calcification throughout the year. Since observed accretion falls far short of the quantities predicted by these measurements, erosive agencies must remove much of the CaCO 3 deposited annually by crustose coralline algae on windward reef margins.

“Crustose coralline algae (CCA, family Corallinaceae, Rhodophyta1) play an important role in many marine ecosystems, providing reef framework, shore protection and carbonate sediments in shallow water2, and facilitating the settlement and survival of larvae of numerous other benthic taxa3456.”

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.
