The diversity, frequency, and scale of human impacts on coral reefs are increasing to the extent that reefs are threatened globally. Projected increases in carbon dioxide and temperature over the next 50 years exceed the conditions under which coral reefs have flourished over the past half-million years. However, reefs will change rather than disappear entirely, with some species already showing far greater tolerance to climate change and coral bleaching than others. International integration…

Vulnerability of Coral Reefs

Adapting Coral Reef Management in the Face of Climate Change

Climate change is now recognised as one of the most significant threats to coral reefs worldwide. The effects of increased sea temperatures on coral populations are the main cause for concern for the…

Impact of Global Warming on Coral Reefs

In this paper, we review coral reef responses to climate variability and discuss the possible mechanisms by which climate impacts the coral reef ecosystem. Effects of oceanographic variables such as…

Using the CCSM to Study Future Coral Reef Vulnerability to Temperature Change

Over the last few decades, several major ecosystems are proving to be vulnerable to future climate changes, elevating the need for combined ecological-climatological research. One obvious ecosystem…

Rising to the challenge of sustaining coral reef resilience.

A clear human footprint on the Caribbean coral reefs

Q3 overfishing and climate change had acted independently and created different overwhelming responses among fishes, corals and macroalgae. While the effective implementation of marine protected…

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene

The global challenge is to steer reefs through the Anthropocene era in a way that maintains their biological functions and will require radical changes in the science, management and governance of coral reefs.

Vulnerability of fishes of the Great Barrier Reefto climate change

Climate change has already caused significant impacts to Earth’s ecosystems. Shifts in plant and animal biogeographic ranges125, changes to population abundance, adjustments in the timing of seasonal…

Dynamic fragility of oceanic coral reef ecosystems.

It is shown that climate change-driven loss of live coral, and ultimately structural complexity, in the Seychelles results in local extinctions, substantial reductions in species richness, reduced taxonomic distinctness, and a loss of species within key functional groups of reef fish.

The Impact of Climate Change on Coral Reef Ecosystems

Human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and changing land use have dramatically altered the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and…

Global Trajectories of the Long-Term Decline of Coral Reef Ecosystems

Records are compiled, extending back thousands of years, of the status and trends of seven major guilds of carnivores, herbivores, and architectural species from 14 regions that indicate reefs will not survive without immediate protection from human exploitation over large spatial scales.

Coral reef disturbance and resilience in a human-dominated environment.

Regional-Scale Assembly Rules and Biodiversity of Coral Reefs

Tropical reef fishes and corals exhibit highly predictable patterns of taxonomic composition across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but the composition of these key taxa is constrained within a remarkably narrow range of values.

Spatial Resilience of Coral Reefs

There have been several earlier studies that addressed the influence of natural disturbance regimes on coral reefs. Humans alter natural disturbance regimes, introduce new stressors, and modify…

The fossil record suggests that corals as a group are more likely to suffer extinctions than some of the groups that associate with them, whose habitat requirements may be less stringent.

Ecosystems: Reef corals bleach to survive change

Results from transplant experiments involving different combinations of coral host and algal symbiont that support an alternative view, in which bleaching offers a high-risk ecological opportunity for reef corals to rid themselves rapidly of suboptimal algae and to acquire new partners.

Climate change, coral bleaching and the future of the world's coral reefs

The results suggest that the thermal tolerances of reef-building corals are likely to be exceeded every year within the next few decades, and suggests that unrestrained warming cannot occur without the loss and degradation of coral reefs on a global scale.

Geochemical consequences of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide on coral reefs

A coral reef represents the net accumulation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced by corals and other calcifying organisms. If calcification declines, then reef-building capacity also declines.…

Multiple stressors on coral reefs: A long ‐term perspective

Coral reefs are subject to a high frequency of recurrent biological and physical disturbances. The temporal and spatial scales of these are often large and difficult to study, so that most of our…

Historical Overfishing and the Recent Collapse of Coastal Ecosystems

Ecological extinction caused by overfishing precedes all other pervasive human disturbance to coastal ecosystems, including pollution, degradation of water quality, and anthropogenic climate change.…
