[HTML][HTML] Corals at the edge of environmental limits: A new conceptual framework to re-define marginal and extreme coral communities
The worldwide decline of coral reefs has renewed interest in coral communities at the edge
of environmental limits because they have the potential to serve as resilience hotspots and …

Contingency planning for coral reefs in the Anthropocene; The potential of reef safe havens
EF Camp - Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2022 - portlandpress.com
Reducing the global reliance on fossil fuels is essential to ensure the long-term survival of
coral reefs, but until this happens, alternative tools are required to safeguard their future …

Marine heatwaves impair the thermal refugia potential of marginal reefs in the northern South China Sea
S Mo, T Chen, Z Chen, W Zhang, S Li - Science of the Total Environment, 2022 - Elsevier
Frequent marine heatwaves (MHWs), concurrent with climate warming, threaten global low-
latitude, pristine coral reefs, leading to growing interest in identifying marginal coral reefs …

Scleractinian corals rely on heterotrophy in highly turbid environments
Coral communities can survive in stressful environments; however, the mechanisms corals
employ to endure challenging conditions are poorly understood. This study assessed how …

Turbidity shapes shallow Southwestern Atlantic benthic reef communities
Abstract Southwestern Atlantic reefs (Brazilian Province) occur along a broad latitudinal
range (∼ 5° N-27° S) and under varied environmental conditions. We combined large-scale …

A snapshot of sediment dynamics on an inshore coral reef
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 …

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

Identifying metocean drivers of turbidity using 18 years of MODIS satellite data: implications for marine ecosystems under climate change
Turbidity impacts the growth and productivity of marine benthic habitats due to light
limitation. Daily/monthly synoptic and tidal influences often drive turbidity fluctuations …

Factors limiting the range extension of corals into high-latitude reef regions
Reef-building corals show a marked decrease in total species richness from the tropics to
high latitude regions. Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for this pattern in …

Large-scale effects of turbidity on coral bleaching in the Hawaiian islands
Turbidity from land-based runoff has been identified as a possible driver of coral bleaching
