Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs 06/08/2018 Check out our newest paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B title Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs. Here is the link to the paper and some recent press. There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and pH on coral reefs. However, little is known about how these two stressors interact and influence coral reef ecosystem functioning. Using a six-week nutrient addition experiment, we measured the impact of elevated nitrate

New paper: FDOM and nutrients on coral reefs 04/21/2018 Check out our new paper in Limnology and Oceanography: Letters titled, "Fluorescent organic exudates of corals and algae in tropical reefs are compositionally distinct and increase with nutrient enrichment." Scientific Significance Statement: On coral reefs, four primary groups of benthic organisms dominate photosynthetic production: corals, macroalgae, microphytobenthos, and encrusting algae on rubble‐‐all of which exude significant quantities of dissolved organic matter (DOM). However, little
