Morphological analysis of cold-water coral skeletons for evaluating in silico mechanical models of reef-scale crumbling
The structural complexity of cold-water corals is threatened by ocean acidification. Increased porosity and thinning in structurally critical parts of the reef framework may lead to rapid physical collapse on an ecosystem scale, reducing their potential for biodiversity support. Understanding the st...
