Article Synopsis
- Free-living red coralline algae play a crucial role in coastal carbon and carbonate cycles, with the study focusing on maerl beds in the Bay of Brest, predominantly featuring Lithothamnion corallioides.
- The research assessed how seasonal changes and local environmental factors influence the physiology of different maerl species, examining aspects like respiration, photosynthesis, and calcification rates.
- Findings indicate that L. corallioides is best suited for local conditions, exhibiting resilience to dark dissolution in winter and high light calcification, while variations in the algae's morphology and environmental factors also significantly impact their metabolic performance.
