Frontiers in Marine ScienceCoral reef karstification plays a vital role in sea-air CO2 exchange, yet its mechanisms remain unclear. This study employs an 878.22-m coral reef sequence (dating to19.6 Ma) from Well CK2 in the Xisha Islands, South China Sea (SCS), to investigate ...

Suitable environmental ranges for potential coral reef habitats in the tropical ocean.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Coral reefs are found within a limited range of environmental conditions or tolerance limits. Estimating these limits is a critical prerequisite for understanding the impacts of climate change on the biogeography of coral reefs.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingOwing to the high spatial heterogeneity of substrate types and terrain, the present satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) methods have low accuracy in deriving large-scale bathymetry in coral reef habitats. Taking 11 coral reefs of Xisha Islands (ocean area

In this lesson, students will investigate the importance of coral reefs to the Earth as a whole and learn some possible explanations for the phenomenon known as "coral bleaching". They should be able to identify ways that coral reefs benefit human beings,

Multi-Scale Coral Reef and Seascape Habitat Variables Combine to Influence Reef Fish Assemblages
FishesWhile benthic characteristics of coral reef habitats are a major driver of the structure of coral reef fish assemblages, non-reef habitats adjacent to coral reefs (e.g., mangroves, seagrass beds, and macroalgal beds) can affect reef fish assemblages ...

Carbon budgets of coral reef ecosystems in the South China Sea
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe coral reef ecosystem is one of the most productive ecosystems in the ocean, and is also an important calcium carbonate deposition region. Because excess production is very low in coral reefs, organic carbon reservoirs are very limited.
