Although biogenic carbonates, such as foraminifera and coccolithophorids, are valuable tools for reconstructing past environments, scleractinian corals also offer environmental data from tropical to subtropical regions with a higher time resolution. For example, oxygen isotopes (δ 18 O) and strontium-calcium (Sr/Ca) ratios have been utilized to reconstruct sea surface temperatures and salinity, primarily through the use of mas...

The interactive effects of nutrient availability and ocean acidification on coral calcification were investigated using post‐settlement juvenile corals of Acropora digitifera cultured in nutrient‐sufficient or nutrient‐depleted seawater for 4 d and then exposed to seawater with different partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P CO 2 ) conditions (38.8 or 92.5 Pa) for 10 d. After the nutrient pretreatment, corals in the high nutri...

We conducted paired measurements of the Sr/Ca ratio and oxygen and carbon stable isotopes of a fossil Faviidae coral specimen (MYK90), age 16 ka, collected from near Miyako Island, the Ryukyus, southwestern Japan. Our study aimed to reconstruct the palaeoenvironment in the East China Sea at 16 ka by comparing the fossil sample with modern Faviidae corals. Our data with annual or longer time resolution may be very suitable for...
