Abstract: Coral reefs are essential for the foundation of marine ecosystems. However, ocean acidification (OA), driven by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2 ) threatens coral growth and biological homeostasis. This study examines two Hawaiian coral species—Montipora capitata and Pocillopora acuta to elevated pCO2 simulating OA. Utilizing pH and O2...
