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 ...

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

The 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 ...

Accretion history of mid-Holocene coral reefs from the southeast Florida continental reef tract, USA

Coral Reefs, 2014
Sixteen new coral reef cores were collected to better understand the accretion history and composition of submerged relict reefs offshore of continental southeast (SE) Florida. Coral radiometric ages from three sites on the shallow inner reef indicate accretion initiated by 8,050 Cal BP and terminated by 5,640 Cal BP.

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.

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.

Spur and Groove Formation on the Florida Reef Tract

SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1963
ABSTRACT On two Florida reefs, submarine reef spurs 10-12 feet high and up to 50 feet wide were dissected with explosives so that internal structures could be examined. Millepora and alga-coated spurs were found to be composed mainly of in-situ coral (Acropora palmata). Comparison of living A.

Scale-dependent spatial variability of coral assemblages along the Florida Reef Tract

Coral Reefs, 1999
Coral reef communities of the western Atlantic have changed over the past two to three decades, but the magnitude and causes of this change remain controversial. Part of the problem is that small-scale patterns observed on individual reefs have been erroneously extrapolated to landscape and geographic scales.
