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 …

The worlds' coral reefs are declining due to the combined effects of natural disturbances and
anthropogenic pressures including thermal coral bleaching associated with global climate …

Sediments are found on all coral reefs around the globe. However, the amount of sediment
in different reservoirs, and the rates at which sediments move between reservoirs, can …

Quantifying the role of biophysical and anthropogenic drivers of coral reef ecosystem
processes can inform management strategies that aim to maintain or restore ecosystem …

Species abundance, diversity and community assemblage structure are determined by
multiple physical, habitat and management drivers that operate across multiple spatial …

Sediments are ubiquitous on coral reefs. However, studies of reef sediments have largely
focused on isolated reservoirs, or processes, and rarely consider hydrodynamic drivers. We …

Bioerosion on inshore reefs is expected to increase with global climate change reducing
reef stability and accretionary potential. Most studies investigating bioerosion have focused …

There is a rich literature on coral reef sediments. However, this knowledge is spread among
research fields, and the extent to which major sediment reservoirs and reservoir connecting …

Increased sediment loads within algal turfs, can be highly detrimental to coral reef systems.
However, significant knowledge gaps remain in relation to sediment dynamics, especially …

Parrotfish provide important ecological functions on coral reefs, including the provision of
new settlement space through grazing and the generation of sediment through bioerosion of …
