Variation in optical properties of the coral tissues and associated photosynthetic descriptors with coral surface inclination.

(A) Boxplots describing the variation in coral absorptance at 675 nm (A675), and (B) minimum quantum requirements for oxygen evolution (1/Φmax) with coral surface inclination. The insert in (B) depict the linear relationship between 1/Φmax and maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), with error bars as SE.
