In the geological record, scleractinian-dominated “turbid-water” bioconstructions that
accumulated under substantial terrigenous input, along with shallow neritic marls rich in well …

High-precision (up to±1–2 years) U-series dating of dead in situ massive Porites corals on
the reef flats of Yongshu and Meiji Reefs, Nansha area, southern South China Sea reveals …

Many coral larvae require surface contact with crustose red algae (CRA) to induce
metamorphosis; however, many features of the ecology of pocilloporid corals, such as their …

In active tectonic areas of humid equatorial regions, nearshore shallow‐water environments
are commonly sites of near‐continuous siliciclastic influx and/or punctuated volcaniclastic …

Disturbances are a natural part of the ecology of reef ecosystems including mesophotic coral
ecosystems (MCEs). Storms, thermal stress, and volcanism are all documented as direct or …

One of the most powerful eruptions of the Holocene, known as the Samalas eruption, had a
VEI of 7 and took place on Lombok, eastern Indonesia in 1257 CE. Thick tephra fall covered …

Shallow‐water coral reef ecosystems, particularly those already impaired by anthropogenic
pressures, may be highly sensitive to disturbances from natural catastrophic events, such as …

Carbonate sediments have been produced and deposited in areas of active volcanism since
at least the Paleoarchean. Despite early recognition of a significant relationship between …

The immediate effects of pyroclastic deposits (ash fall) on reef communities after volcanic
eruptions on remote tropical islands have never been critically examined. This study …

The eastern part of Lombok Island is a highly dynamic environment with many physical
processes as well as very complex landuse. In addition to the anthropogenic origin …
