Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems

Coral Reefs of the World, 2019
[Extract] Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique tropical and subtropical ecosystems characterized as light-dependent reef communities typically found at depths ranging from 30 to 40 m and extending to over 150 m in clear waters. The dominant habitat-forming communities can be hard and soft corals, algae, and/or sponges.

Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems: Introduction and Overview

Coral Reefs of the World, 2019
Although the existence of zooxanthellate corals in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; light-dependent coral ecosystems from 30 to 150 m in depth) has been known since the nineteenth century and focused scientific exploration of MCEs began over 50 years ago, more than 70% of all research on MCEs has been published only within the past seven years.

Caribbean mesophotic coral ecosystems are unlikely climate change refugia

Global Change Biology, 2016
AbstractDeeper coral reefs experience reduced temperatures and light and are often shielded from localized anthropogenic stressors such as pollution and fishing. The deep reef refugia hypothesis posits that light‐dependent stony coral species at deeper depths are buffered from thermal stress and will avoid bleaching‐related mass mortalities caused by ...

Community ecology of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems

Coral Reefs, 2010
Given the global degradation of shallow-water coral reef ecosystems resulting from anthropogenic activities, mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (MCEs) are gaining attention because they are generally considered a de facto refuge for shallow-water species. Despite their inferred importance, MCEs remain one of the most understudied reef habitats, and basic

Disturbance in Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems and Linkages to Conservation and Management

Coral Reefs of the World, 2019
Disturbances are a natural part of the ecology of reef ecosystems including mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs). Storms, thermal stress, and volcanism are all documented as direct or indirect impacts on MCEs and have been shaping these systems for millennia.

Underwater Robotic Technology for Imaging Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems

Coral Reefs of the World, 2019
The development of advanced acoustic and optical imaging techniques along with autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) has enabled high-resolution benthic mapping and biological characterization of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) over large spatial scales.

Ecosystem Services of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems and a Call for Better Accounting

Coral Reefs of the World, 2019
Accounting of the goods and services provided by ecosystems to human communities provides a basis for informed sustainable development, policy, and conservation decision-making. Coral reefs provide a myriad of such goods and services to coastal communities through direct provisioning (e.g., calories and natural products), environmental supporting and ...
