text: (1999) additionally note that coral calcification rates tend to rise in response to increases in water temperature, and that photosynthesis and calcification are tightly coupled in most corals and coral reef communities, with the metabolic CO 2 derived from symbiont photosynthetic products functioning as a significant source of carbon for the calcification process.
