How does salinity affect coral reefs? How have coral reefs changed over time? How does sedimentation affect coral reefs? How does coral reef bleaching occur? How do fish help coral reefs? How does oxybenzone affect coral reefs? Why are coral reefs in shallow water?
How deep in the ocean is the aphotic zone? What is the salinity of the epipelagic zone? What is the deepest benthic zone in the world? How much pressure is in benthic zones? What ocean zone are coral reefs in? What is the difference between sea level and elevation?
Here, we examined coral reef health at 17 sites across three regions along the northeastern Arabian Peninsula (Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Oman Sea) representing a gradient of environmental conditions. The Persian Gulf has extreme seasonal fluctuations in temperature and chronic hypersalinity, ...
Coral-associated microbiomes vary greatly between colonies and localities with functional consequences on the host. However, the full extent of variability across the ranges of most coral species remains unknown, especially for corals living in deep waters which span greater ranges. Here, we character...
Ocean currents play an important role in maintaining life on Earth. Ocean currents help distribute pollution and waste, regulate the temperature and climates, and help some organisms spread and reproduce. Answer and Explanation: Learn more about this topic: ...
with peaks of 1213 g Corgm−2in the most densely populated areas (sponge coverage categories c and d across the flat seamount peaks). This biomass is on average 12-fold higher than reported for cold-water coral reefs on the Rockall Bank, where sponges represented 19% of living biomass...
Therefore, the ability of coral larvae to navigate to reefs while in the open-ocean, or to settlement sites while on reefs is extremely limited. We then show experimentally that turbulence generated by fine scale structure is required to deliver larvae to the substratum even in conditions ...
Since many strains of cyanobacteria wash ashore during periods of high wave action, we hypothesized that cyanobacterial abundance is negatively associated with wave height. We monitored cyanobacterial abundance, macroalgal abundance, nitrogen availability, phosphorus availability, salinity, and water temperature...
Discovery of a largely overlooked, predator-enriched insect community in mangroves It is often assumed that the insect diversity in mangroves is low because high salinity and low plant diversity are thought to be unfavourable to insect diversification [23,73,74]. However, we here show that mangrov...
How does salinity affect an aquatic ecosystem? How does eutrophication affect biodiversity? Why are pesticides bad for groundwater? How does sewage affect coral reefs? What is a bad effect of spraying pesticides on crops? How does coral bleaching effect marine life?
