An apparent “vital effect” of calcification rate on the Sr/Ca temperature proxy in the reef coral Montipora capitata

Measuring the strontium to calcium ratio in coral skeletons reveals information on seawater temperatures during skeletal deposition, but studies have shown additional variables may affect the ratio. Here we measured Sr/Ca in the reef coral Montipora capitata grown in six mesocosms continuously suppl...
