time and space (Andréfouët and Payri, 2001). Multiple-source remote sensing of reef
system structure and environment may now be integrated with field determinations
of benthic metabolism to evaluate the carbon and carbonate biogeochemistry of reef
systems across a range of space and time scales. As a result, holistic analyses of reef
community, zone, or system metabolic function can be used to provide a fundamental
context for ecological studies, and can inform ecosystem managers on the efficacy of
alternate monitoring and remediation strategies.
