Observations show ocean temperatures are rising due to climate change, resulting in a
fivefold increase in the incidence of regional-scale coral bleaching events since the 1980s; …

Mass coral bleaching events have become a widespread phenomenon causing serious
concerns with regard to the survival of corals. Triggered by high ocean temperatures …

Recurrent mass bleaching events threaten the future of coral reefs. To persist under climate
change, corals will need to endure progressively more intense and frequent marine …

Spatial and temporal patterns of future coral bleaching are uncertain, hampering global
conservation efforts to protect coral reefs against climate change. Our analysis of daily …

Increasing sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are predicted to adversely impact coral
populations worldwide through increasing thermal bleaching events. Future bleaching is …

Ocean warming threatens the functioning of coral reef ecosystems by inducing mass coral
bleaching and mortality events. The link between temperature and coral bleaching is now …

Climate-change impacts on coral reefs are expected to include temperature-induced
spatially extensive bleaching events. Bleaching causes mortality when temperature stress …

Coral reefs are among the most species-rich, productive and economically valuable
ecosystems on Earth but increasingly frequent pantropical coral bleaching events are …

Global climate change is a major threat to reefs by increasing the frequency and severity of
coral bleaching events over time, reducing coral cover and diversity. Ocean warming may …

Anomalously high ocean temperatures have increased in frequency, intensity, and duration
over the last several decades because of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global …
