Ocean acidification causes bleaching and productivity loss in coral reef builders

TL;DR: Comparing bleaching, productivity, and calcification responses of crustose coralline algae and branching and branching coral species in response to acidification and warming suggests sensitive reef-building species such as CCA may be pushed beyond their thresholds for growth and survival within the next few decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caribbean corals in crisis: record thermal stress, bleaching, and mortality in 2005.

C. Mark Eakin, +70 more
- 15 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Comparison of satellite data against field surveys demonstrated a significant predictive relationship between accumulated heat stress (measured using NOAA Coral Reef Watch's Degree Heating Weeks) and bleaching intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Elevated Organic Carbon Levels and Microbial Activity in Coral Mortality

TL;DR: It is experimentally shown that routinely measured components of water quality do not cause substantial coral mortality, and a model by which elevated DOC levels cause Caribbean reefs to shift further from coral to macroalgal dominance is proposed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Automated annotation of coral reef survey images

TL;DR: It is shown that the proposed algorithm accurately estimates coral coverage across locations and years, thereby taking a significant step towards reliable automated coral reef image annotation.
