Relationship between light and the δ15N of coral tissue: Examples from Jamaica and Zanzibar
Abstract
Nitrogen isotope values from coral tissue collected over depth–light gradients are reported from Jamaica and Zanzibar. The Jamaica suite consists of multiple specimens of three coral species (Montastrea annularis, Porites astreoides, and Agaricia agaricites) sampled at increasing depths. For each species, combined tissue/zooxanthellae δ15N decreases significantly with decreasing availability of photosynthetically active radiation. The Zanzibar …
