Bleaching susceptibility and recovery of Colombian Caribbean corals in response to water current exposure and seasonal upwelling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Coral bleaching events are globally occurring more frequently and with higher intensity, mainly caused by increases in seawater temperature. In Tayrona National Natural Park (TNNP) in the Colombian Caribbean, local coral communities are subjected to ...

Cell death and degeneration in the symbiotic dinoflagellates of the coral Stylophora pistillata during bleaching [PDF]

, 2004
Rising sea temperatures are increasing the incidences of mass coral bleaching (the dissociation of the coral–algal symbiosis) and coral mortality. In this study, the effects of bleaching (induced by elevated light and temperature) on the condition of ...

A novel paleo-bleaching proxy using boron isotopes and high-resolution laser ablation to reconstruct coral bleaching events [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
Coral reefs occupy only ~ 0.1 percent of the ocean's habitat, but are the most biologically diverse marine ecosystem. In recent decades, coral reefs have experienced a significant global decline due to a variety of causes, one of the major causes being ...

Coral reef bleaching monitoring based on multitime Landsat-8 remote sensing image series

地质科技通报, 2022
In recent years, due to the influence of human activities and global warming, the coral reef ecosystem in the South China Sea (SCS) has degraded, and bleaching occurs.

High-resolution modeling of thermal thresholds and environmental influences on coral bleaching for local and regional reef management [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Coral reefs are one of the world’s most threatened ecosystems, with global and local stressors contributing to their decline. Excessive sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) can cause coral bleaching, resulting in coral death and decreases in coral cover.

Caribbean Corals in Crisis: Record Thermal Stress, Bleaching, and Mortality in 2005 [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND The rising temperature of the world's oceans has become a major threat to coral reefs globally as the severity and frequency of mass coral bleaching and mortality events increase.

Response characteristics of bacterial communities in multiple coral genera at the early stages of coral bleaching during El Niño

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Although coral bleaching caused by high temperatures has attracted great concern, the response of the coral microbiome to bleaching has not been thoroughly explored.

Hurricanes benefit bleached corals [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Recent, global mass-mortalities of reef corals due to record warm sea temperatures have led researchers to consider global warming as one of the most significant threats to the persistence of coral reef ecosystems. The passage of a hurricane can alleviate thermal stress on coral reefs, highlighting the potential for hurricane-associated cooling to ...

The role of microorganisms in coral bleaching [PDF]

The ISME Journal, 2008
Abstract Coral bleaching is the disruption of the symbiosis between the coral host and its endosymbiotic algae. The prevalence and severity of the disease have been correlated with high seawater temperature. During the last decade, the major hypothesis to explain coral bleaching is that high water temperatures cause irreversible damage ...

Short-term coral bleaching is not recorded by skeletal boron isotopes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Coral skeletal boron isotopes have been established as a proxy for seawater pH, yet it remains unclear if and how this proxy is affected by seawater temperature. Specifically, it has never been directly tested whether coral bleaching caused by high water
