Short summary
We exposed a natural reef community to climate change scenarios to measure the impact of climate stress on the balance between reef calcification and dissolution. Calcification had a non-linear response to climate stress, while dissolution had a linear response, highlighting the need to study both processes. We also found a tipping point: communities switched from net calcification to net dissolution at temperature and pCO2 values that are likely to occur by the end of the century.
