...We have already exceeded the maximum CO2 concentration experienced in the last 740,000 years (Augustin et al. 2004), and will soon exceed the range of CO2 concentrations experienced in tens of millions of years (Pearson and Palmer 2000, IPCC 2007)....

...A fundamental question in ecology is to what extent local vs. global processes drive ecosystem dynamics (Davis et al., 1998; Karlson & Cornell, 1998; Walther et al., 2002)....

...However, to understand how reef-community states and their resilience to perturbations vary under changing global environmental conditions (Scheffer et al., 2001), the key variables ocean acidification and warming and their interactions with local-scale disturbances must be formally accounted…...

...Our approach does not provide absolute measures of coral and macroalgal abundance with high confidence, but allows an analytical comparison of the relative roles of environmental and ecological processes as drivers of resilience patterns – a comparison that would otherwise be intractable using more…...

...This allowed us to determine the conditions under which the system allows single or alternate stable states (Scheffer et al., 2001), and the extent to which 1802 K ....

...The results of this study generally support the conclusions of recent reviews (e.g. Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2007) that increasing CO2 will exacerbate effects of overfishing and nutrification on reef ecosystems....

...A recent review suggests that the equilibrial states of reef systems are sensitive to ocean acidification (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2007)....

...Coral reefs, which are highly diverse and valuable ecosystems, are under increasing threat from both global climate change and local-scale stressors (Wilkinson, 2004; Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2007)....
