Nutrient enrichment can increase the susceptibility of reef corals to bleaching
Mass coral bleaching, resulting from the breakdown of coral–algal symbiosis has been
identified as the most severe threat to coral reef survival on a global scale. Regionally …

Climate change disables coral bleaching protection on the Great Barrier Reef
Coral bleaching events threaten the sustainability of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Here we
show that bleaching events of the past three decades have been mitigated by induced …
