The Coral Restoration Foundation is a non-profit ocean conservation organisation which has created a unique method of cultivating corals on ‘coral trees’ that has been implemented in several locations around the world, includingBonaireand more recently, on the Great Barrier Reef. The four nurseries...
根据“his user-friendly interactive platform has functional features such as zoom in, zoom out, mini-map and measure distance. Users are allowed to provide feedback to improve the quality of coral reef data.”可知,用户友好的交互平台具有放大、缩小、迷你地图和测量距离等功能。用户可提供反馈意见,以...
38.F 上下文语境.前句提到It takes coral 500,000 years to build a huge reef形成珊瑚礁需要50万年的时间,但是人类破坏只要不到100年的时间,而且后句也提到The coral reefs have been harmed in different ways.所以F起到承上启下的作用,故选F.39.E 上下文语境.根据后句Water pollution has encouraged ...
Coral Reef Info was made to provide a concise, science-based overview of the structure, ecology, and marine life of coral reefs.
We quantitatively review recovery rates of coral cover from pulse disturbance events among 48 different reef locations, testing the relative roles of disturbance characteristics, reef characteristics, connectivity and anthropogenic influences. Reefs in the western Pacific Ocean had the fastest recovery, ...
As you dine, be sure to look for sharks, sea turtles and rays as they swim in this wondrous coral reef. And did you know? Coral reefs are crucial to the biodiversity of the world's oceans. They cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, but provide food and shelter to over 25% of ...
Owing to their remoteness, broad spatial coverage and cross﹋urisdictional locations, there are no high‐resolution remotely sensed maps available at the global scale. Here we present a framework that is capable of mapping coral reef habitats from individual reefs (~200 km2) to entire barrier ...
背景知识大堡礁(Great Barrier Reef)是世界上最大最长的珊瑚礁群,位于南半球,它纵贯于澳洲的东北沿海,北起托雷斯海峡,南到南回归线以南,绵延伸展共有2011公里,最宽处161公里。有2900个大小珊瑚礁岛,自然景观非常特殊。大堡礁的南端离海岸最远有241公里,北端较靠近,最近处离海岸仅16公里。在落潮时,部分珊瑚礁露出...
Furthermore, in an era of global warming, we caution against using conservation strategies that focus heavily on endemics. It would be interesting to use climate modeling to predict which coral reef regions are most at risk and to what extent they differ from the 18 locations identified by ...
However, here for the first time we show the existence of a living 28 km2 large coral reef in this country. These corals are adapted to one of the most extreme coral-bearing environments on earth: the seawater temperature in this area ranges between 14 and 34°C. The discovery of the...
