increasing in frequency and geographic extent, and is typically associated with abnormally …

Reef-building corals typically live close to the upper limits of their thermal tolerance and
even small increases in summer water temperatures can lead to bleaching and mortality …

Recent large-scale analyses suggest that local management actions may not protect coral
reefs from climate change, yet most local threat-reduction strategies have not been tested …

Maintaining coral reef resilience against increasing anthropogenic disturbance is critical for
effective reef management. Resilience is partially determined by how processes, such as …

With the use of high-level soil management technology, Africa could feed several billion
