Corals form the basis for some of the most diverse marine ecosystems on the planet. Yet these unique ecosystems have suffered tremendous harm due to anthropogenic influences and are predicted to be among the most adversely affected habitats under the foreseen changes in climate. Among these changing conditions are the occurrence and composition of microorganisms in the coral’s habitat, which are affected by changes in temperature and pH.
