The response of the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis to thermal stress depends on the nitrogen status of the coral holobiont

The response of the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis to thermal stress depends on the nitrogen status of the coral holobiont Eric Béraud, François Gevaert, Cécile Rottier, Christine Ferrier-Pagès Journal of Experimental Biology  2013  216: 2665-2674;  doi: 10.1242/jeb.085183  (Bolding is mine, for emphasis.) In non-stressed healthy corals, it has been shown that nutrient addition (nitrogen alone or in combination with phosphorus) may negatively impact […]
