Climate change is driving changes in the physical and chemical properties of the ocean that
have consequences for marine ecosystems. Here, we review evidence for the responses of …

Hundreds of coral paleoclimate records have been developed over the past several
decades, significantly extending the instrumental record and improving our understanding of …

Coral reefs are found in a wide range of environments, where they provide food and habitat
to a large range of organisms as well as providing many other ecological goods and …

Scleractinian (hard) corals are fundamental to the geomorphology, biodiversity, and
structure of coral reef ecosystems (Goreau 1963, Hoegh-Guldberg 2004, Pratchett et al …

Coral reefs provide food and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people as well as
harbour some of the highest regions of biodiversity in the ocean. However, overexploitation …

Coral reefs live within a fairly narrow envelope of environmental conditions constrained by
water temperatures, light, salinity, nutrients, bathymetry, and the aragonite saturation state of …

The direct influence of anthropogenic CO 2 might play a limited role in pH regulation in
coastal ecosystems as pH regulation in these areas can be complex. They experience large …

Long-term coral reef resilience to multiple stressors depends on their ability to maintain
positive calcification rates. Estimates of coral ecosystem calcification and organic …

Mass coral bleaching affected large parts of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in 1998 and 2002.
In this study, we assessed if signatures of these major thermal stress events were recorded …

Ecosystem-based management on coral reefs has historically focused on biodiversity
conservation through the establishment of marine reserves, but it is increasingly recognised …
