Dissolution rate (kg m–2 year–1; mean ± s.e.m., black bars), sediment production (gray bars) and total bioerosion rate (open bars) of the coral boring sponges Cliona vermifera and Cliona flavifodina. The mean change in total alkalinity ({Delta}AT, in equiv. l–1) are shown as closed circles in the y2-axis.
