Abstract Coral reefs experience biologically-driven pCO2 oscillations that are predicted to become more extreme in magnitude and duration under ocean acidification (OA) regimes. Understanding the plasticity of responses in common reef-building corals to oscillations in pCO2 will allow for better predictions of their function in future seawater conditions. This study explored the effects of variation in seawater pCO2 on coral calcification using experiments conducted over one month between 9 April 2018 and 18 May 2018. Branches (~4-cm long) of Acropora retusa were sampled from colonies at 10-m depth on the fore reef of Mo'orea, French Polynesia (17° 28′ 53.9004" S, 149° 49′ 50.5992" W). We tested the hypothesis that depressed calcification caused by elevated pCO2 (~1000 μatm) is relaxed (i.e., calcification increases) upon return to ambient pCO2 (~400 μatm). Corals first were incubated in ambient or elevated pCO2 for 19 days, with the result that calcification integrated over this period was reduced by 31% under elevated pCO2. The same corals were then incubated at ambient pCO2 for 11 days, during which calcification was independent of the experimental pCO2 exposure history. Our results suggest that a quick relaxation of pCO2-depressed calcification in A. retusa following cessation of high pCO2 indicates that corals are capable of a reversible plastic response of calcification when confronted by pCO2 oscillations.

当返回到环境 pCO2 时,先前暴露于升高的 pCO2 不会影响热带巩膜动物的钙化

摘要 珊瑚礁经历了生物驱动的 pCO2 振荡,预计在海洋酸化 (OA) 制度下,这种振荡的幅度和持续时间会变得更加极端。了解普通造礁珊瑚对 pCO2 振荡反应的可塑性,将有助于更好地预测它们在未来海水条件下的功能。本研究通过在 2018 年 4 月 9 日至 2018 年 5 月 18 日期间进行的一个月内进行的实验,探讨了海水 pCO2 变化对珊瑚钙化的影响。从珊瑚礁上 10 米深的菌落中采集了红角鹿角的枝条(约 4 厘米长) Mo'orea 的前礁,法属波利尼西亚(17° 28' 53.9004" S, 149° 49' 50.5992" W)。我们测试了由升高的 pCO2 (~1000 μatm) 引起的抑制钙化被放松的假设(即,钙化增加)回到环境 pCO2(~400 μatm)。珊瑚首先在环境或升高的 pCO2 中孵育 19 天,结果在此期间整合的钙化在升高的 pCO2 下减少了 31%。然后将相同的珊瑚在环境 pCO2 下孵育 11 天,在此期间钙化与实验 pCO2 暴露历史无关。我们的结果表明,在停止高 pCO2 后,A. retusa 中 pCO2 抑制的钙化的快速放松表明,当遇到 pCO2 振荡时,珊瑚能够对钙化产生可逆的塑性响应。然后将相同的珊瑚在环境 pCO2 下孵育 11 天,在此期间钙化与实验 pCO2 暴露历史无关。我们的结果表明,在停止高 pCO2 后,A. retusa 中 pCO2 抑制的钙化的快速放松表明,当遇到 pCO2 振荡时,珊瑚能够对钙化产生可逆的塑性响应。然后将相同的珊瑚在环境 pCO2 下孵育 11 天,在此期间钙化与实验 pCO2 暴露历史无关。我们的结果表明,在停止高 pCO2 后,A. retusa 中 pCO2 抑制的钙化的快速放松表明,当遇到 pCO2 振荡时,珊瑚能够对钙化产生可逆的塑性响应。
