Global climate change and localized anthropogenic stressors are driving rapid declines in
coral reef health. In vitro experiments have been fundamental in providing insight into how …

A review of published literature on the sensitivity of corals to turbidity and sedimentation is
presented, with an emphasis on the effects of dredging. The risks and severity of impact from …

Tropical reefs have been impacted by thermal anomalies caused by global warming that
induced coral bleaching and mortality events globally. However, there have only been very …

Increasing evidence suggests that coral reefs exposed to elevated turbidity may be more
resilient to climate change impacts and serve as an important conservation hotspot …

The worldwide decline of coral reefs has renewed interest in coral communities at the edge
of environmental limits because they have the potential to serve as resilience hotspots and …

Exposure to deoxygenation from climate warming and pollution is emerging as a
contributing factor of coral bleaching and mortality. However, the combined effects of heating …

Cold-water corals, such as Lophelia pertusa, are key habitat-forming organisms found
throughout the world's oceans to 3000 m deep. The complex three-dimensional framework …

Coral reefs are deteriorating under climate change as oceans continue to warm and acidify
and thermal anomalies grow in frequency and intensity. In vitro experiments are widely used …

Mass bleaching events are growing in duration and intensity. Besides causing extensive
mortality, the progressively shorter time between events disrupts the ability of reefs to …

There is evidence that microplastic (MP) pollution can negatively influence coral health;
however, mechanisms are unknown and most studies have used MP exposure …
