Chronic exposure of coral reefs to elevated nutrient conditions can modify the performance
of the coral holobiont and shift the competitive interactions of reef organisms. Many studies …

Microplastics are widespread emerging contaminants that have been found globally in the
marine and freshwater ecosystem, but there is limited knowledge regarding its impact on …

Reef-building corals create one of the most biodiverse and economically important
ecosystems on the planet. Unfortunately, global coral reef ecosystems experience threats …

Microplastics are emerging contaminants and widespread in the ocean, but their impacts on
coral reef ecosystems are poorly understood, and in situ study is still lacking. In the present …

Mass coral bleaching represents one of the greatest threats to coral reefs and has mainly
been attributed to seawater warming. However, reduced water quality can also interact with …

Field ecological observations indicate that scleractinian coral exposed to early thermal
stress are likely to develop higher tolerance to subsequent heat stress. The causes of this …

This study initially investigated the coral status during the unexpected bleaching event in
three coastal areas in Northwest Hainan coastal areas and analyzed changes in coral …

The resistance of hard corals to warming can be negatively affected by nitrate
eutrophication, but related knowledge for soft corals is scarce. We thus investigated the …

As high temperature stress due to climate change threatens tropical corals, cooler areas at
relatively high latitudes may be potential refuges. Tolerance to low temperatures is critical in …

Microplastic pollution in marine environments has increased rapidly in recent years, with
negative influences on the health of marine organisms. Scleractinian coral, one of the most …
