Coral reef ecosystem services in the Anthropocene
Coral reefs underpin a range of ecosystem goods and services that contribute to the well-being of millions of people. However, tropical coral reefs in the Anthropocene are likely to be functionally different from reefs in the past.

Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of climate change on reef-building corals. However, in a literature

Impacts of ocean warming on echinoderms: A meta‐analysis
Rising ocean temperatures are threatening marine species and populations worldwide, and ectothermic taxa are particularly vulnerable. Echinoderms are an ecologically important phylum of marine ectotherms and shifts in their population dynamics can have ...

The future of coral reefs [PDF]
Coral reefs, with their millions of species, have changed profoundly because of the effects of people, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reefs are subject to many of the same processes that affect other human-dominated ecosystems, but some special features merit emphasis: (i) Many dominant reef builders spawn eggs and sperm into ...

Bathymetry of the Coral Reefs of Weizhou Island Based on Multispectral Satellite Images
Shallow water depth measurements using multispectral images are crucial for marine surveying and mapping. At present, relevant studies either depend on the use of other auxiliary data (such as field water depths or water column data) or contain too many ...

Private Capital to Improve Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Protection: Time for a Boost
Coastal protection, an important coral reef ecosystem service, is threatened by increasing coral mortality, exacerbated by global climate change. Nature-based solutions in the form of coral restoration, while not perfect, can assist in rebuilding reef ...

XXVIII. Corals and Coral Reefs [PDF]
T he lecturer began by pointing out that the carbonate of lime, of which the hard parts of most corals consist, has been derived in the first instance from the decomposition of such eruptive rocks as basalt and dolerite.
