LARGER FORAMINIFERS OF THE FLORIDA REEF TRACT, USA: DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS ON REEF-RUBBLE HABITATS

Journal of Foraminiferal Research, 2009
Multi-year data sets for benthic populations of any taxa are particularly valuable in present conditions of rapid environmental change. This study examines distribution patterns and population densities of larger benthic foraminifers (LBF) from the Florida reef tract, specifically abundance data collected from reef rubble at offshore (1995–2000, 2006 ...

Clionid sponge surveys on the Florida Reef Tract suggest land-based nutrient inputs

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2005
Bioerosion by Cliona delitrix and Cliona lampa was assessed at 43 sites along the Florida Reef Tract, USA, in the summer of 2001. Sponge abundances were estimated using rapid visual assessment. Tissue samples of sponges were taken for analysis of delta15N. Comparison samples were taken from Belize.

Is proximity to land-based sources of coral stressors an appropriate measure of risk to coral reefs? An example from the Florida Reef Tract

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2007
Localized declines in coral condition are commonly linked to land-based sources of stressors that influence gradients of water quality, and the distance to sources of stressors is commonly used as a proxy for predicting the vulnerability and future status of reef resources.

The microscopic threat with a macroscopic impact: Microplastics along the southeast Florida reef tract

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023
Microplastics decrease oceanic water quality and negatively impact marine life. This research quantified and classified marine plastic pollution along the Southeast Florida Reef Tract (SEFRT) to estimate the risk of microplastic damage to corals in this region.

Nitrogen and Carbon Isotopic Systematics of the Florida Reef Tract

Bulletin of Marine Science, 2012
The nitrogen isotopic composition of a variety of organisms in coral reefs has been used extensively, not only to study nitrogen dynamics, but also as a tracer for the input of anthropogenic nitrogen. However, the interplay between isotopic fractionation associated with the internal nitrogen cycling and variations in the absolute values supplied by ...

The development of Rodriguez Bank, a Holocene mudbank in the Florida reef tract

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1976
Abstract Rodriguez Bank is a Recent mound of unconsolidated calcareous sediments deposited during a relative rise in sea level in the absence of vigorous wave action. This mound, unlike modern coral-algal reefs, has no rigid organic framework and plants are directly and indirectly responsible for the accumulation.

Seasonal Dynamics of Macroalgal Communities of the Northern Florida Reef Tract

Botanica Marina, 2000
Coral communities worldwide are undergoing intense degradation in response to natural and human disturbances, and many reef systems have already experienced significant declines in live coral cover associated with an increase in macroalgal abundance.
