Stress-tolerant corals of Florida Bay are vulnerable to ocean acidification

In situ calcification measurements tested the hypothesis that corals from environments (Florida Bay, USA) that naturally experience large swings in pCO2 and pH will be tolerant or less sensitive to ocean acidification than species from laboratory experiments with less variable carbonate chemistry. The pCO2 in Florida Bay varies from summer to winter by several hundred ppm roughly comparable to the increase predicted by the end of the century. Rates of net photosynthesis and calcification of two stress-tolerant coral species, Siderastrea radians and Solenastrea hyades, were measured under the prevailing ambient chemical conditions and under conditions amended to simulate a pH drop of 0.1-0.2 units at bimonthly intervals over a 2-yr period. Net photosynthesis was not changed by the elevation in pCO2 and drop in pH; however, calcification declined by 52 and 50 % per unit decrease in saturation state, respectively. These results indicate that the calcification rates of S. radians and S. hyades are just as sensitive to a reduction in saturation state as coral species that have been previously studied. In other words, stress tolerance to temperature and salinity extremes as well as regular exposure to large swings in pCO2 and pH did not make them any less sensitive to ocean acidification. These two species likely survive in Florida Bay in part because they devote proportionately less energy to calcification than most other species and the average saturation state is elevated relative to that of nearby offshore water due to high rates of primary production by seagrasses.

Esta tesis doctoral se especializa en el estudio desde el interior de casas de maestros españoles proyectadas y construidas para ellos y sus familias. Casas proyectadas y construidas para ellos mismos por arquitectos “maestros” de la arquitectura española del siglo XX, que acabaron sus estudios de arquitectura después de la guerra civil y que se habían formado en la Escuela de Madrid. Las cinco casas escogidas están situadas en la provincia de Madrid, en la hoy definida como Comunidad de Madrid. Las cinco casas son para el arquitecto y su familia. También las cinco casas son de tipología unifamiliar aislada. Todas ellas tuvieron el carácter de vivienda estable, no de fin de semana, no de refugios experimentales. El método de análisis se estructura en dos grandes bloques, lo que hemos denominado “Enfocando” y “Desde dentro”. Enfocando: Se analizan las obras precedentes de similares características y se realiza un estudio de aproximación al lugar cuyo punto final es la entrada de la casa Desde dentro: Se Inicia el estudio de la vivienda en un recorrido que atiende a los parámetros de relaciones con el exterior, materiales de acabado, mobiliario, condiciones de flexibilidad y crecimiento y relaciones vivienda-estudio. Siempre con el espacio interior como protagonista del estudio Abstract The dissertation focuses on the interior space of "master`s houses" which were conceived and built for the architect and his family. The five houses selected were built in the XX Century .The five houses are located in Madrid. The five houses are detached houses, the five houses are "residences", not experimental houses, or weekend houses. The method has two parts. Focusing and Inside Focusing: This part studies previous works, with similar characteristics. Moreover this part looks at the path from the street to the main door, through the private exterior. Inside: This part studies the relationship between interior and exterior, finishing materials, furniture, flexibility and relation with the professional spaces. All these elements are studied, always with the interior space as the main character.
