Carbonate production and erosion rates across shallow-water coral reef habitats (2–5 m depth) on Pohnpei and Kosrae, Federated States of Micronesia.

All values are in kg CaCO3 m-2 yr-1. Gross production is the total rate of carbonate production across habitats, excluding erosion rates. Erosion includes parrotfish and urchin erosional forces combined (which does not include Acanthaster solaris erosion). Net production is gross carbonate production minus the erosional estimates and sedimentation inputs. Acanthaster erosion is the erosion caused by A. solaris. Combined reef strata were only available for inner and outer reefs, due to the lack of patch reefs in Kosrae.
