(From upi.com) Miami – Reefs may erode in areas with high carbon dioxide levels because the “glue” binding coral skeletons to larger reef structures is missing, a U.S. study found.
The study found coral reefs in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean offer a real-world example of the what reef ecosystems will face under high carbon dioxide conditions resulting in ocean acidification, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday in a release.
