Changing geo‐ecological functions of coral reefs in the Anthropocene
CT Perry, L Alvarez‐Filip - Functional Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The ecology of many coral reefs has changed markedly over recent decades in response to
various combinations of local and global stressors. These ecological changes have …

Algal turf sediments on coral reefs: what's known and what's next
SB Tebbett, DR Bellwood - Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019 - Elsevier
Algal turfs are likely to rise in prominence on coral reefs in the Anthropocene. In these
ecosystems the sediments bound within algal turfs will shape ecosystem functions and the …
