Tracking Low-Frequency Variations in Land–Sea Water Mass Redistribution during the GRACE/GRACE-FO Era

Remote Sensing, 2023
Climate change has caused a widespread deduction in terrestrial water storage (TWS), leading to ocean water mass gains and sea level rises. A better understanding of how the land–sea water mass has been redistributed can help with the scientific response

Significant Shifts in Microbial Communities Associated with Scleractinian Corals in Response to Algae Overgrowth

Microorganisms, 2022
Microbes play a key role in reef dynamics, mediating the competition between scleractinian corals and benthic algae; however, major shifts in bacterial communities among coral species in response to increases in the abundance of algae are not well ...

Turbulence and Coral Reefs

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2021
The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in understanding turbulence in the unique setting of coral reefs—how it influences flow and the exchange of mass and momentum both above and within the complex geometry of ...

Regulation of the Coral-Associated Bacteria and Symbiodiniaceae in Acropora valida Under Ocean Acidification

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Ocean acidification is one of many stressors that coral reef ecosystems are currently contending with. Thus, understanding the response of key symbiotic microbes to ocean acidification is of great significance for understanding the adaptation mechanism ...

High‐Resolution Coral Records of Cadmium in Surface Seawater: Biogeochemical Cycling and a Novel Proxy for Winter Monsoon

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Cadmium (Cd) geochemical cycle plays a significant role in the composition and function of the marine ecosystem. Skeletal cadmium‐to‐calcium (Cd/Ca) ratios in hermatypic corals have been applied to reconstruct the historical changes of oceanic and ...

The diversity, community dynamics, and interactions of the microbiome in the world’s deepest blue hole: insights into extreme environmental response patterns and tolerance of marine microorganisms

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Blue holes are unique marine sinkholes with extreme environments and biogeochemical processes. However, our understanding of community dynamics, functional profiles, and microbial interactions in blue holes remains limited.

Fungiidae Classification, Life History, and Biogeographic Research Progress

Redai dili, 2022
Most species of Fungiidae are formed by a single giant polyp that secretes calcium carbonate, which is one of the main builders of the coral reef ecosystem frameworks.

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]

Nature, 2017
Coral reefs support immense biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services to many millions of people. Yet reefs are degrading rapidly in response to numerous anthropogenic drivers. In the coming centuries, reefs will run the gauntlet of climate change, and rising temperatures will transform them into new configurations, unlike anything observed

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 ...

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.
