这项研究揭示了升高（某种条件，原文未明确）对柱形珊瑚（Porites cylindrica）和丛生盔形珊瑚（Galaxea fascicularis）的影响。在升高（该条件）下，珊瑚的反应不同。柱形珊瑚的虫黄藻细胞密度、细胞有丝分裂指数和光合作用速率在升高（该条件）下急剧下降。在实验结束时，柱形珊瑚的碳酸钙沉淀速率下降。丛生盔形珊瑚在升高（该条件）下呼吸速率增加，并排出了71%的共生虫黄藻。剩余虫黄藻中的光合色素增加了1.85到11.5倍以维持其光合产出。在实验结束时，丛生盔形珊瑚设法提高了其碳酸钙沉淀速率。大气（中某种物质，原文未明确）的增加可能会影响珊瑚礁的物种多样性。
This study reveals the effect of elevated on Porites cylindrica and Galaxea fascicularis. The corals responded differently under elevated . Zooxanthellae cell density, cell mitotic index, and photosynthesis rate of P. cylindrica decreased drastically under the elevated . At the end of the experiment, P. cylindrica suffered from a declining calcium carbonate precipitation rate. G. fascicularis increased its respiration rate and expelled 71% of its symbiotic zooxanthellae algae under elevated . Photosynthetic pigments in the remaining zooxanthellae algae increased from 1.85 to 11.5 times to sustain its photosynthetic outputs. At the end of the experiment, G. fascicularis managed to increase the rate of its calcium carbonate precipitation. Increase in the atmosphere may affect species diversity of coral reefs.
