Based on this probability map, we generated a global coral reef extent map from a 60% threshold of reef probability (reef: probability ≥ 60%, non-reef: probability < 60%). Our findings provide a proof-of-concept method for global reef extent estimates using a consistent and readily ...
Coral reef management and conservation stand to benefit from improved high-resolution global mapping. Yet classifications underpinning large-scale reef mapping to date are typically poorly defined, not shared or region-specific, limiting end-users’ ability to interpret outputs. Here we present Reef Cov...
Here we present a mapping framework for coral reefs from the scale of individual reefs to the entire reef systems across millions of square kilometers of ocean. The framework can utilize a wide range of input covariate and training data sources, and outputs both geomorphic and benthic map types...
Potential influences on coral reefGnet(e.g. depth, temperature, coral cover) have been identified in many case studies33,34,35, but there is currently no overarching consensus about the critical drivers at the global scale. Manipulative mesocosm experiments have quantified the relative importance of...
Fig. 1: Global map of present-day warm-water coral reefs from the ReefBase (http://www.reefbase.org/main.aspx). Distribution data are spatially subsampled at a horizontal resolution of 1° × 1° and filtered to include only ‘true reefs’ (see Methods). Presence cells (n =...
