Upwelling increases net primary production of corals and reef-wide gross primary production along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica

Photosynthetic production is a key ecosystem service provided by tropical coral reefs, but knowledge about the contribution of corals and other reef-associated organisms and the controlling environmental factors is scarce. Locations with occurrence of upwelling events can serve as in-situ laboratori...
