Restoration supports the recovery of ecological attributes such as cover, complexity, and
diversity to slow the areal decline of natural ecosystems. Restoration activity is intensifying …

The ability of reefs to protect coastlines from storm-driven flooding hinges on their capacity to
keep pace with sea-level rise. Here, we show how and whether coral restoration could …

Function-based studies have opened a new chapter in our understanding of coral reefs.
Unfortunately, we are opening this chapter as the world's reefs rapidly transform. In this …

The loss of functional and accreting coral reefs reduces coastal protection and resilience for
tropical coastlines. Coral restoration has potential for recovering healthy reefs that can …

Aggregation of paleo-environmental data derived from geological investigations conducted
on the shoreface and inner shelf of Florida's six coastal geomorphic sectors revealed a …

For reef framework to persist, calcium carbonate production by corals and other calcifiers
needs to outpace loss due to physical, chemical, and biological erosion. This balance is …

Outbreaks of coral disease have been a dominant force sha** western Atlantic coral-reef
assemblages since the late 1970s. Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is nonetheless …

Long‐lived Atlantic coral species like Orbicella faveolata are important archives of
oceanographic change in shallow, marine environments like the Florida Keys. Not only can …

Coral reefs and their associated landforms (carbonate islands and shorelines) are under
increasing threat from the effects of anthropogenic climate change, including sea level rise …

Complex reef structure, built via calcium carbonate production by stony corals and other
calcifying taxa, supports key ecosystem services. However, the decline in coral cover on …
