    The mutually beneficial symbiosis between reef-building corals and zooxanthellae is the key support of the coral reef ecosystem, but this symbiosis is facing the threat of seawater heating and acidification


    In this study, the Indian - Pacific Ocean two widely distributed type made reef corals - the middle of staghorn coral ( Acropora interMedia ) and compact flat brain coral ( Platygyra daedalea ) as the object, two different growth and environment pressure sensitivity of coral, before One is a sensitive branched coral, and the latter is a tolerant clump coral.

    Studies have found that warming will delay the early symbiosis establishment of the two corals, while acidification has no obvious effect.


    Assistant researchers Sun Youfang and Jiang Lei of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanography are the first authors of the two articles.
