Abstract Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to marine calcifying organisms. This manuscript gives an overview of the physiological effects on reef-building corals from cellular population scale. In addition, we present first review indirect resulting altered species interactions. We find that direct are more consistently negative at larger spatial scales, suggesting accumulation sub-lethal can result in notable changes and ecosystem level. identify also have potential contribute...
Abstract Increases in the frequency of perturbations that drive coral community structure, such as severe thermal anomalies and high intensity storms, highlight need to understand how communities recover following multiple disturbances. We describe dynamics cover assemblage composition corals on exposed inshore reefs Palm Islands, central Great Barrier Reef, over 19 years encapsulating major disturbance events bleaching event 1998 Cyclone Yasi 2011, along with other minor storm heat stress...
