Coral reefs are under extreme threat due to a number of stressors, but temperature
increases due to changing climate are the most severe. Rising ocean temperatures coupled …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) occur at depths beyond those typically associated
with coral reefs. Significant logistical challenges associated with data collection in deep …

Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Deep coral reefs (that is, mesophotic coral ecosystems) can act as refuges against major
disturbances affecting shallow reefs. It has been proposed that, through the provision of …

Although the existence of zooxanthellate corals in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs;
light-dependent coral ecosystems from 30 to 150 m in depth) has been known since the …

Soil washing has been verified as a feasible technology for source reduction for
contaminated soil with heavy metals. We conducted batch and column leaching experiments …

Migration and transformation trend of heavy metals have close relationship with soil safety.
In this research, we aim to provide reliable basis for prevention and management of local …

The rapid deterioration of coral reefs worldwide has led to a growing interest in identifying
areas that can offer protection against adverse conditions including coral reef communities …

We analyzed an extensive dataset of over 9000 benthic and suprabenthic species found
throughout the Gulf of Mexico (GoMx) to assess whether mesophotic coral ecosystems …

Although the existence of coral-reef habitats at depths to 165 m in tropical regions has been
known for decades, the richness, diversity, and ecological importance of mesophotic coral …
