Does nutrient enrichment contribute to coral bleaching? A Fijian case study


This study investigated the effects of nutrient enrichment and thermal stress on the cellular and photosynthetic response of a dominant, reef-building coral in Fiji. Porites cylindrica corals were collected from Votua, Fiji, placed in individual mesocosms, and enriched with one of three concentrations of labelled nitrate (15NO3-) for two weeks. Then, colonies were gradually heated...
