Temperature had a significant impact on all oxygen flux metrics (net photosynthesis, dark respiration, and light-enhanced dark respiration) standardised to cm2 of coral skeleton, symbiont cell, µg of Chlorophyll a and µg of Chlorophyll c2. These findings accord with well-established Q10 responses seen in photosynthesis and respiration, in which the rate of biological reactions increases with temperature due to the effect of temperature on enzyme kinetics (Schortemeyer et al., 2015).
