The world's coral reefs are rapidly transforming, with decreasing coral cover and new
species configurations. These new Anthropocene reefs pose a challenge for conservation; …

Continued declines in coral reef health over the past three decades have been punctuated
by severe mass coral bleaching‐induced mortality events that have grown in intensity and …

Abstract Changes in disturbance regimes due to climate change are increasingly
challenging the capacity of ecosystems to absorb recurrent shocks and reassemble …

Coral-reef ecosystems are experiencing frequent and severe disturbance events that are
reducing global coral abundance and potentially overwhelming the natural capacity for reefs …

Observed changes and impacts Ongoing climate trends have exacerbated many extreme
events (very high confidence). The Australian trends include further warming and sea level …

Threats from climate change and other human pressures have led to widespread concern
for the future of Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Resilience of GBR reefs will be …

Climate‐driven alterations to disturbance regimes are increasingly disrupting patterns of
recovery in many biomes. Here, we examine the impact of disturbance and subsequent level …

In the face of increasing cumulative effects from human and natural disturbances, sustaining
coral reefs will require a deeper understanding of the drivers of coral resilience in space and …

Corals of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have declined over the past 30 years. While reef
state depends on the balance between disturbance and recovery, most studies have …

Sigmoid growth models, such as the logistic, Gompertz and Richards' models, are widely
used to study population dynamics ranging from microscopic populations of cancer cells, to …
