| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We reconstructed environmental and calcification changes during past different warming periods using modern and fossil skeletons of reef builders in order to estimate the responses of coral reefs and biodiversity in future global warming. In our results, calcification rates of major reef builders were varied among each warming periods. The responses in their calcification rates were not only explained by temperature, but also influenced by the interaction with environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, nutrients, acidification, and sea level changes. Each factors were also complex influenced by their seasonal variability, climatic-ecological events, the surviving strategy of each reef builders.
