Abstract
Jose Montalvo-Proano experimentally tested the response of different life stages of coral to elevated temperature and pCO2. He found strong evidence for beneficial acclimation and hardening of photosynthetic efficiency, but not in coral growth. This work provides insights to enhance future reef model projections and restoration strategies.
