Natural ocean acidification at Papagayo upwelling system (north Pacific Costa Rica): implications for reef development
(2018)
Numerous experiments have shown that ocean acidification impedes coral calcification, but knowledge
about in situ reef ecosystem response to ocean acidification is still scarce. Bahía Culebra, situated at the northern ...
Effects of Seasonal Upwelling on Inorganic and Organic Matter Dynamics in the Water Column of Eastern Pacific Coral Reefs
(2015-11)
The Gulf of Papagayo at the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica experiences pronounced seasonal changes in water parameters caused by wind-driven coastal upwelling. While remote sensing and open water sampling already ...
Effects of simulated overfishing on the succession of benthic algae and invertebrates in an upwelling-influenced coral reef of Pacific Costa Rica
(2015)
Overfishing and nutrient enrichment are among the major local stressors to coral reefs worldwide, as they can alter the benthic reef community by promoting fast growing algae and bioeroders. The Northern coast of Pacific ...
