Deriving fine-scale patterns of sea surface temperature in coral reef habitats using the Landsat 8 thermal infrared sensor

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The available sea surface temperature (SST) products are too coarse to assess the fine-scale (<1 km) SST variations related to coral bleaching. In this study, we proposed an optimal SST inversion model using Landsat 8 thermal infrared sensor (TIRS ...

Feeding Habits of Acanthaster spp., as Indicated by the Carbon Stable Isotope Values of Food in Their Gastric Contents and Pyloric Gut

Redai dili
The periodic outbreaks of Acanthaster spp. which are predators of coral, are important reasons for the degradation of coral reefs. Information on the food sources of Acanthaster spp. Would be useful for suppressing outbreaks of the species.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The acute and chronic low-temperature stress responses in Porites lutea from a relatively high-latitude coral reef of the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Relatively high-latitude coral reefs could be potential “refuges” for corals under climate change. One of the most important aspects limiting their availability as refuges is low-temperature stress.

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Comparison of UV based advanced oxidation processes (UV/Periodate, UV/ Peroxydisulfate, UV/NaClO, and UV/H2O2) for inactivating Escherichia coli in marine water

Desalination and Water Treatment
Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination in marine aquaculture represents a major financial risk. This study investigated the efficacy of ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) employing a 10 W ultraviolet lamp and 1 mM oxidant to ...

Symbolic or Substantive Action: Intent, Effort, and Results

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many firms have made ambitious climate pledges since the Paris Agreement of 2015. These pledges may be symbolic or substantive, but the literature is fragmented in defining these two terms. We propose a conceptual framework with three frames to delineate symbolic from substantive action: Intent—underlying motivations for engaging in climate ...

Distinct Bacterial Communities Associated with Massive and Branching Scleractinian Corals and Potential Linkages to Coral Susceptibility to Thermal or Cold Stress

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
It is well known that different coral species have different tolerances to thermal or cold stress, which is presumed to be related to the density of Symbiodinium. However, the intrinsic factors between stress-tolerant characteristics and coral-associated
