Abstract: 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, and ecological relationships of reef fishes are
discussed.

Abstract: The author summarizes the present state of knowledge of the
ecology of intertidal environments at Eniwetok. Studies over the past
25 years have documented the major outlines of community organization

community structure and processes will require more intensive future
studies.
