Which outcome reduces the reef's calcification rate following coral bleaching?

💡 Explanation

Increased ROS triggers the destruction of the coral tissue because the damaged zooxanthellae cause elevated oxidative stress, impairing energy provision. Therefore, calcificiation slows due to energy constraints, rather than efficient photosynthesis that would elevate energy reserves.
