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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Baseline coral disease surveys within three marine parks in Sabah, Borneo [PDF]

, 2015
Two of the most significant threats to coral reefs worldwide are bleaching and disease. However, there has been a scarcity of research on coral disease in South-East Asia, despite the high biodiversity and the strong dependence of local communities on ...

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 ...

Combination Analysis of Metatranscriptome and Metagenome Reveal the Composition and Functional Response of Coral Symbionts to Bleaching During an El Niño Event

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
With the abnormal rise in ocean temperatures globally in recent years, coral bleaching is becoming common and serious. However, the response mechanisms and processes of coral symbionts to bleaching are not well understood. In this study, metagenomics and

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

Further Flattening of a Degraded, Turbid Reef System Following a Severe Coral Bleaching Event

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Increasing incidence of severe coral bleaching events caused by climate change is contributing to extensive coral losses, shifts in species composition and widespread declines in the physical structure of coral reef ecosystems. With these ongoing changes
