Macroalgae decrease growth and alter microbial community structure of the reef-building coral, Porites astreoides. [PDF]
With the continued and unprecedented decline of coral reefs worldwide, evaluating the factors that contribute to coral demise is of critical importance. As coral cover declines, macroalgae are becoming more common on tropical reefs.
