Abstract

Community metabolism was investigated uslng a Lagrangian flow resplrometry technique on 2 reef flats at Sloorea (French l'olynesia) during austral winter and Yonge Reef (Great Barrier Reef) during austral summer. The data were used to estimate related air-sea CO, disequilibrium. A slne funct~on did not sdtisfactorily model the d ~e l light curves and ov~rrstsmated the metabolic parameters.
