Where do Coralline algae come from? ... New live rock often gets diatoms and cyanobacterial growth first—but once they die back, the surface of the rock will start to get light green, pink and even purple pigments—and then after some time and with sufficient calcium and pH, coralline ...
The persistence of coralline algae in marine communities is widely believed to be due in part to their calcified thalli. Calcification is thought to increase thallus integrity and minimize the impact of herbivory (Littler and Littler 1980; Padilla 1993; Steneck, 1986, Steneck, 1983; Steneck ...
Samples of Herposiphonia heringii and Gelidium micropterum, the dominant algal species, were collected from 20 P. cochlear gardens at Dalebrook by gently scraping the algae off the rocks so as to exclude the underlying encrusting coralline species. The fine and intermin- gled nature of the ...
That's a very useful added benefit in hot, tropical countries that may be short of freshwater. Land- and sea-based OTEC Open- and closed-cycle OTEC can operate either on the shore (land-based) or out at sea (sometimes known as floating or grazing). Both have advantages and disadvantages...
Seagrass productivity, thought to be limited by current seawater DIC composition, could benefit from the increased availability of carbon3.

their medicinal value. However the ecosystems that have yielded some of the world’s most important and promising drugs—such as rainforests, peat swamps, and coral reefs—are also among the most endangered. Preserving ecosystems and species today may benefit, or even save, millions of lives ...

There is overwhelming evidence that tropical coral reefs are severely impacted by human induced climate change. Assessing the capability of reef-building c
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are well known for their ability to induce settlement in coral larvae. While their wide distribution spans reefs that differ substantially in temperature regimes, the extent of local adaptation to these regimes and the impact they have on CCA inductive ability are ...
