Global climate change is having devastating effects on habitat structure in coralreef
ecosystems owing to extreme environmental sensitivities and consequent bleaching of …

Climate-induced coral bleaching poses a significant threat to coral reef ecosystems, causing
extensive coral loss and degradation of reef habitats. Moreover, many reef fishes exhibit …

Most reviews concerning the impact of climate change on coral reefs discuss independent
effects of warming or ocean acidification. However, the interactions between these, and …

Since the early 1980s, episodes of coral reef bleaching and mortality, due primarily to
climate-induced ocean warming, have occurred almost annually in one or more of the …

Coral reefs have emerged as one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate variation
and change. While the contribution of a warming climate to the loss of live coral cover has …

Recent episodes of coral bleaching have led to wide‐scale loss of reef corals and raised
concerns over the effectiveness of existing conservation and management efforts. The 1998 …

Coral reef ecosystems are threatened on a worldwide basis, with overfishing, diseases,
eutrophication, hurricanes, overpopulation, and global climate change all contributing to …

Coral reefs live within a fairly narrow envelope of environmental conditions constrained by
water temperatures, light, salinity, nutrients, bathymetry and the aragonite saturation state of …

Coral reef ecosystems are increasingly subject to severe, large-scale disturbances caused
by climate change (eg, coral bleaching) and other more direct anthropogenic impacts. Many …

Many coral reefs worldwide have undergone phase shifts to alternate, degraded
assemblages because of the combined effects of overfishing, declining water quality, and …
