Journal ArticleDOI
Coral recovery in the central Maldives archipelago since the last major mass-bleaching, in 1998.
TL;DR: It was shown that Maldivian reefs recovered following the 1998 mass-bleaching event, but it took up to a decade, and ongoing disturbances may be eroding reef resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in the population and community structure of corals during recent disturbances (February 2016-October 2017) on Maldivian coral reefs.
TL;DR: Pronounced changes in coral populations and communities in the Maldives, caused by coral bleaching and other disturbances (outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish and sedimentation), will constrain recovery capacity, further compounding upon recent coral loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in growth rates of branching corals along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

TL;DR: It is shown that temperature has a significant influence on spatiotemporal patterns of branching coral growth, and high summer temperatures in the northern GBR may already be constraining coral growth and reef resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between pollution and decline of Scleractinian Cladocora caespitosa (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Gulf of Gabes.
TL;DR: Quantitative analysis of the coral fragments indicates a positive correlation with stations characterized by positive bathymetric anomalies and suggests the presence of probable small-scaled (up to 4 m high) biogenic build-ups composed mainly of coral colonies and bryozoans in the Gulf of Gabes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Coral Reef Health in the North Ari Atoll (Maldives) Using the FoRAM Index
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the status of coral reef communities along gradients of human pressure to predict recovery capacity of reefs exposed to acute events such as mass bleaching or storm destruction.
