Global warming and coral reef ecosystems: ecological consequences of increased tropical sea temperturesThe world's coral reefs are located in one of the most thermally stable habitats on the planet today. Not only are seasonal and diurnal fluctuations in tropical sea temperature small, b...
Coral reef, climate change, sea temperature, coral bleachingpIn this paper, we review coral reef responses to climate variability and discuss the possible mechanisms by which climate impacts the coral reef ecosystem. Effects of oceanographic variables such as sea temperature, turbulence, salinity, and...

Fast-growing staghorn and tabular corals suffered a catastrophic die-off, transforming the three-dimensionality and ecological functioning of 29% of the 3,863 reefs comprising the world’s largest coral reef system. Our study bridges the gap between the theory and practice of assessing the risk ...
While local factors like pollution and overfishing have a significant impact on coral reefs, ocean temperature and chemical composition of ocean water due toanthropogenic activities and global warming are drastically reducing the distribution, abundance, and survival of entire coral reef ecosystems. As a...
Coral reefGlobal warmingOcean acidificationSea level riseThe atmospheric CO2 crossed over 400 ppm and we must prepare for a "+2 掳C world" during this century. Coral reefs are directly related to each scenario of global warming: increase in CO2 results in ocean acidification and suppresses ...

global warming, a very strong El Nino event, and the so-called warm “blob” in the Pacific Ocean, say the researchers, part of a consortium including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as well as XL Catlin Seaview Survey, The University of Queensland...

Coral reefs are marine structures created by calcifying coral animals and their algal symbionts. Coral reef ecosystems are generally high in biodiversity, most often found in shallow tropical seas, and are threatened by factors including ocean acidification, global warming and sea level rise. ...
