17. In the Great Barrier Reef, reef monitoring is conducted as part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Monitoring Program23, while various programs exist for the Caribbean such as the Caribbean Coastal Marine Productivity24. Within the Great Barrier Reef, long-term monitoring revealed high ...
they filter large volumes of seawater (up to thou- sands of litres per day [2]) from which they retain the organic matter and transform it into biomass that can be consumed by detritivores, ultimately recycling it back into the reef system in a process known as the "sponge-loop" [3]....
m?2 yr?1. Substituting the erosion rate we estimated with the markers would suggest that net carbonate production at this patch reef was lower and negative, ?4.2 kg?m?2 yr?1. This divergence could be a function of high erosion rates measured on the tops of Orbicella colonies, which may...
Massive scleractinian corals of the genus Porites are important reef builders in the Indo-Pacific, and they are more resistant to thermal stress than other stony corals, such as the genus Acropora. Because coral health and survival largely depend on the interaction between a coral host and its ...
Background The coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis is fundamental for the coral reef ecosystem. Corals provide various inorganic nutrients to their algal symbionts in exchange for the photosynthates to meet their metabolic demands. When becoming symbionts, Symbiodiniaceae cells show a reduced proliferation ...
