Funded Activity Summary

Ecological competition between corals and algae in a high carbon dioxide world: understanding the mechanisms and implications for reef ecosystems. This project will explore the impacts of ocean acidification on ecological interactions between two key groups on reefs: corals and seaweeds. Such knowledge is fundamental to managing the consequences of increased global carbon emissions on the ecology and persistence of Australian marine ecosystems, including the Great Barrier Reef.
