Summary:
Variation in primary productivity (red numbers: units = g C/m2/year) and reef accretion (calcium carbonate) from the tropical water column to a typical coral reef coastline. Open ocean conditions are usually constant, although productivity is low due to a paucity of nutrients. Productivity and reef accretion is significant on the reef slope and crest due to more favourable conditions (e.g. optimal temperatures, light and water circulation). Going shorewards, conditions eventually become more extreme due to the ponding of water behind the reef crest (Figure D. Kleine and O. Hoegh-Guldberg).
