Community metabolism and air-sea C02 fluxes in a coral reef ecosystem (Moorea, French Polynesia)

In November and December 1991, gross production and respiration were respectively 640.2-753 and 590.4-641.5 mmol (O2 or CO2)m-2d-1 (7.7-9.0 and 7.1-7.7 g C m-2d-1) and the reef displayed a slightly negative excess (=net) production. The contribution of planktonic primary production to reef metabolis... View More
