The Effects of Global Warming on the Great Barrier Reef Essay Coral reefs are threatened by global warming. They can only live in waters between 18 C and 30 C. Therefore, with the increase in temperature of the surrounding water, there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of co...
Coral reefs(珊瑚礁)as underwater walls can help reduce the effects of hurricanes on coastal communities. This secs unbelievable. It is reported that scientists have discovered that coral reefs are even more effective than man-made sea walls under the water. However, coral reefs are especially eas...
The effects of humans on coral reefs are not well understood, especially on a regional or global scale. A special survey protocol called ''Reef Check'' was designed to be used by volunteer recreational divers, trained and led by marine scientists, and based on the use of high value, ...
Coral reef health surrounding four island case studies in the Cook Islands and Fiji have been assessed in areas that have not been previously surveyed. This study compares four islands with barrier and fringing reefs that have different levels of economic development, population pressure, land-use ...

Taphonomy of modern deep, cold‐temperate water coral reefs Deepwater corals are widely distributed along the coldtemperate northeastern Atlantic continental margin. Despite the widespread occurrence of these aphoti... A Freiwald,JB Wilson - 《Historical Biology》 被引量: 118发表: 1998年 Comment on...
Corals reefs are subjected to multiple disturbances that modify levels of coral cover and structural complexity of the reef matrix, and in turn influence the structure of associated fish communities. With disturbances predicted to increase, insight into how changes in substrate condition will influence ...
10. Global Warming Effect: Disappearance of coral reefs Areport on coral reefs from WWFsays that in a worst case scenario, coral populations will collapse by 2100 due to increased temperatures andocean acidification and its effects. The‘bleaching’ of coralsfrom small but prolonged rises in sea...
of coral reefs can break the approaching waves. More recently, researchers at the University of Miami have reached the same conclusion. They used a special lab simulator to recreate ocean conditions during a Category 5 hurricane. They found that coral reefs could reduce the impact of waves by ...
