A rapidly changing climate Climate change is not new. Global and regional climate has varied and changed in the past on a range of time scales due to a variety of internal and external causes ( IPCC , 2007a , Chap. 1). Organisms and ecosystems, such as coral reefs, have survived, ...
And corals are useful to people , too. Without the protection which reefs afford from crashing waves, low-lying islands such as the Maldives would have flooded long ago, and a billion people would lose food or income. One team of economists has estimated that coral’s global ecosystem service...
Coral reefs become more colorful due to climate change 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。解析:气候变化中的水温升高会导致珊瑚白化现象,这对珊瑚礁是有害的。A选项,气候变化对珊瑚礁有很大影响。B选项,虽然二氧化碳增加,但它并不会使珊瑚礁生长得更快,反而会因为水温升高等因素遭受破坏。D选项,气候变化会损害...
climate changecoral reef ecosystemsMarine protected areas (MPAs) provide place-based management of marine ecosystems through various degrees and types of protective actions. Habitats such as coral reefs are especially susceptible to degradation resulting from climate change, as evidenced by mass bleaching ...
上文Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory.说受到这些和其他类似发现的鼓舞,更有活力的物种被引入,看看珊瑚礁是否能恢复到以前的辉煌。由此可知,下文A program is busy analyzing the world's...

Climate change is expected to have profound, partly unforeseeable effects on the composition of functional traits of complex ecosystems, such as coral reefs, and some ecosystem properties are at risk of disappearing. This study applies a novel spatially explicit, individual-based model to explore thre...
Coral reefs make up a vast underwater ecosystem -- that most of us never see. An estimated one billion people worldwide benefit directly or indirectly from them and they're at risk from the continuing threats of climate change. But a team of U.S. scientists is seeing hope -- with the...
SYDNEY, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Reef-building algae species have a unique molecular makeup that could help future coral reefs withstand climate change, pointing to better understanding of environmental impacts on the major marine ecosystems, according to the latest Australian research. ...
