Abstract: Research combining the analysis of coral distribution in volcanically acidified waters with laboratory culture experiments indicates that reef communities may shift from reef-building hard corals to non-reef-building soft corals under CO2 partial pressure ( p CO 2 ) levels of 550–970 μatm that are predicted to occur by the end of this century.
