3. Reef Bioerosion: Agents and Processes.

Author

Tribollet, Aline and Golubic, Stjepko

Abstract

Coral reef maintenance depends on the balance between constructive and destructive forces. Constructive forces are mainly calcification and growth of corals and encrusting coralline algae. Destructive forces comprise physical, chemical, and biological erosion. Bioerosion is considered as the main force of reef degradation because physical erosion (storms) is temporary and localized, and chemical erosion is considered as negligible due to the actual ocean chemistry (Scoffin et al. 1980). Reef bioerosion affects sedimentary and skeletal carbonate substrates. It plays an important role in reef sedimentation, diversity maintenance by creating habitats and by providing food resources, and in biogeochemical cycles (recycling of dissolved Ca2+ and C). Thus, bioerosion is an integral part of the coral reef carbonate balance. The concept of bioerosion was introduced by Neumann (1966). It includes biocorrosion, which refers to destruction of carbonates by chemical means, and bioabrasion which refers to mechanical removal of carbonates by organisms (Golubic and Schneider 1979; Schneider and Torunski 1983).

Abstract

Acesta excavata is the largest known bivalve associated with the Lophelia pertusa communities along the northeast Atlantic continental margin, but has also been found along steep cliffs, devoid of bathyal corals, and on more subdued topographies. During the Pleistocene, including the last glacial, A. excavata was widespread in the Mediterranean, but is in the Recent fauna known only from four Mediterranean sites. A new possible live-record from the Canyon du Var off Nice is presented. Radiocarbon dating (AMS 14C-method) on an A. excavata assemblage from the Strait of Sicily yielded a Late Pleistocene age of 39.9 ka. Biometric parameters indicate that Pleistocene Mediterranean shells achieved about the same maximum sizes as their Recent Atlantic counterparts, but individuals have been slightly smaller on average. The subspecies Acesta excavata sublaevis Nordsieck, based on a subfossil juvenile Mediterranean shell, is not considered a valid taxon. Mineralogical composition and ultrastructure of A. excavata have been analyzed using thin-sections, Feigel staining, x-ray diffractometry (XRD) and SEM-imaging. Its wide distribution, large size (15 cm) and simple shell architecture makes it a prime candidate for palaeoenvironmental studies in cold-water coral settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
