Overview

Warm Water: Most carbonate-producing organisms thrive in tropical to subtropical climates (30 degrees north or south of the equator).Shallow Depth: Photosynthetic organisms, such as green algae and symbiotic corals, require light, limiting major production to the photic zone (usually less than 100 meters deep).Clear Water: High turbidity from clay or silt clogs the feeding mechanisms of carbonate producers and blocks sunlight.Salinity: Most carbonate producers require normal marine salinity; extreme fluctuations can kill the "factory."
