An overview is presented of the many studies that have
been conducted at Eniwetok on reef community processes,

making major contributions to an understanding of these

processes. These studies have also influenced the
context in which many ecologists think about reef
systems.

Attention is

focused on community metabolism,

calcification processes at the ecosystem and organismal
level, as well as nitrogen and phosphorus cycling. In
addition,

the role of detritus,

coral nutrition,
