Conceptual model of climate change (ocean acidification [OA] and seawater warming) effects on coral reef mesocosms that either do (light blue) or do not (blue) feature seagrass beds. Solid lines denote abiotic effects (i.e., OA or OA + warming to 31C), whereas dotted lines depict effects of co-incub...
