Coral carbonate production is fundamental to reef accretion and, consequently, the
preservation of essential reef ecosystem services, such as wave attenuation and sustained …

Restoration is increasingly seen as a necessary tool to reverse ecological decline across
terrestrial and marine ecosystems. 1, 2 Considering the unprecedented loss of coral cover …

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the long-term maintenance of coral-
dominated tropical ecosystems, and has received considerable attention over the past two …

Coral restoration is rapidly becoming a mainstream strategic reef management response to
address dramatic declines in coral cover worldwide. Restoration success can be defined as …

Coral rubble communities are an important yet often overlooked component of a healthy reef
ecosystem. The organisms inhabiting reef rubble are primarily bioeroders that contribute to …

Coral reefs experienced the third global bleaching event in 2015–2016 due to high sea-
surface temperature (SST) anomalies. Declines in net carbonate production associated with …

Carbonate budgets are increasingly being used as a key metric to establish reef condition.
To better understand spatial variations in framework and sediment net carbonate budgets …

The ecology of coral reefs is rapidly shifting from historical baselines. One key-question is
whether under these new, less favourable ecological conditions, coral reefs will be able to …

Coral recovery (the restoration of abundance and composition of coral communities) after
disturbance is a key process that determines the resilience of reef ecosystems. To …

Functional integrity on coral reefs is strongly dependent upon coral cover and coral
carbonate production rate being sufficient to maintain three-dimensional reef structures …
