How does pH levels affect coral reefs?
pH is important for many reasons, but for coral reefs proper pH is especially important because of how corals grow. Corals grow by depositing calcium carbonate as part of their skeletons, and calcium carbonate does not like to for (precipitate) at lower pH. A pH of above 8 makes it much easier for corals to lay down there calcium carobonate skeletons, and thus makes it possible for them to grow. That is how pH affects coral reefs.
