Abstract:
"Coral reefs may be able to adapt to moderate climate warming, improving their chance of surviving through the end of this century, if there are large reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, according to a study funded by NOAA and conducted by the agencys scientists and its academic partners. Results further suggest corals have already adapted to part of the warming that has occurred."
