Porites macrobioerosion study: individual calcification rates, skeleton density, and the volume of borings in the tropical Pacific from 2011-2012 (Coral Reef Ecosystem OA Impact project)

<p>Using an automated program to quantify macrobioerosion in three-dimensional computerized tomography (CT) scans of coral cores, macrobioerosion rates of live Porites colonies in both low-nutrient (oligotrophic) and high-nutrient (&gt;1 µM nitrate) waters were measured across the Pacific basin. Reported parameters include the mean annual coral calcification rate,&nbsp;mean skeletal density, and the percent volume of borings in the skeletons.</p>
