Abstract
⺠Long-term decreasing trend in coral δ13C is due to the atmospheric 13C Suess effect. ⺠Fiji Porites corals growing at deeper water depths have lower mean δ13C. ⺠Fiji Porites corals growing at deeper water depths have lower skeletal extension rates. ⺠The growth of corals into shallower water with time dampens the δ13C trend. ⺠The trend in coral δ13C lags the trend in atmospheric CO2 δ13C by ~ 10 years.
