ResourcePreliminary data on growth under different light and thermal conditions in branching coral species
"Coral reefs are threatened due to thermal stress caused by global climate change. The higher temperatures lead to coral bleaching which results from the breakdown of the relationship between the coral and their symbiotic algae; this phenomenon is also he...
ResourcePreliminary results on the effects of shading on thermal bleaching in Pocillopora damicornis
"Thermal stress can lead to the expulsion of algal symbionts in corals, causing bleaching - a phenomenon likely to become more common with global warming. Bleaching is caused not only by high temperatures but also by high light intensity. In an effort to ...
ResourceAcidification in the U.S. Southeast: Causes, Potential Consequences and the Role of the Southeast Ocean and Coastal Acidification Network
Coastal acidification in southeastern U.S. estuaries and coastal waters is influenced by biological activity, run-off from the land, and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Acidification can negatively impact coastal resources such as shellfish, ...
