Ocean acidification in the tropical Indian Ocean over the past 37 years: Insights from δ11B and B/Ca records in a Maldives coral
Boron isotopes (11B) in coral skeletons of Porites have been widely applied to reconstruct past seawater pH (pHSW) on decadal to centennial timescales. However, due to biological regulation within corals, an additional transfer function is required to estimate ambient seawater chemistry during the skeleton growth under the calcification site fluid pH. Temperature may also interfere with coral calcification fluid pH (pHCF) due to changes in kinetics of coral aragonite precipitation, or buffering capacity in coral calcification fluid. To decipher how coral Porites adjusts pHCF in response to pHSW from complex environmental controls, long-term records from sites with least fluctuations in environmental conditions other than pHSW are essential. Here we present a 37-year record of coral 11B and B/Ca ratios derived from a coral core collected from southern Maldives, the tropical Indian Ocean. Our results show no clear seasonality in the coral 11B and B/Ca ratios between monsoons, but a long-term decline in coral pHCF is evident across the entire record. When applying different existing transfer functions, we also observe discrepancies among the calculated pHCF values, model results and short-term instrumental data. Calculated calcification fluid dissolved inorganic carbon concentration ([DIC]CF) values are relatively low compared to literature, suggesting that coral calcification fluid carbonate chemistry may be under different levels of control, even within the same coral taxa. Thus, coral records from a wider geographic range are required to better quantify coral response to ocean acidification, and our results can serve as a baseline for future comparisons.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Geology is an international journal that publishes original research papers on isotopic and elemental geochemistry, geochronology and cosmochemistry.
The Journal focuses on chemical processes in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology, low- and high-temperature aqueous solutions, biogeochemistry, the environment and cosmochemistry.
Papers that are field, experimentally, or computationally based are appropriate if they are of broad international interest. The Journal generally does not publish papers that are primarily of regional or local interest, or which are primarily focused on remediation and applied geochemistry.
The Journal also welcomes innovative papers dealing with significant analytical advances that are of wide interest in the community and extend significantly beyond the scope of what would be included in the methods section of a standard research paper.
