Distribution and partitioning of nitrogen and phosphorus in a fringing reef lagoon of Ishigaki Island, northwestern Pacific
Concentration of dissolved and particulate carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) were measured daily and seasonally in the water column of a coral reef lagoon at Ishigaki Island. Concentrations of dissolved inorganic N and P (DIN, DIP), dissolved organic C and N (DOC, DON), particulate organic C, and particulate N and P (POC, PN, PP) were usually higher in the lagoon than at offshore sta...
متن کاملCorallivore Abundance and Biomass and Coral Reef Degradation in the Line Islands: Christmas Island, Fanning Island, and Palmyra Atoll
This paper seeks a relationship between corallivore abundance and biomass in the Line Islands and coral reef degradation/anthropogenic influence in these locales. Specifically, three randomly chosen sites at each of Palmyra Atoll, Fanning Island, and Christmas Island, were tested. Through six thirty-meter transects, abundance of predetermined Chaetodon and Labropsis were tallied and run through...
متن کاملInfluence of Land Development on Holocene Porites Coral Calcification at Nagura Bay, Ishigaki Island, Japan
To evaluate the relationships between coral calcification, thermal stress, and sedimentation and eutrophication linked to human impact (hereafter referred to as "land development") by river discharge, we analyzed growth characteristics in the context of a paleoenvironment that was reconstructed from geochemical signals in modern and fossil (1.2 cal kyr BP and 3.5 cal kyr BP, respectively) massi...
متن کاملPlume dispersion on a fringing coral reef system
A field program was implemented on a fringing reef located on Oahu, Hawaii, to investigate the dispersion characteristics of near-bed dye plumes, tracked using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with an onboard fluorometer. The combination of moored and AUV-based measurements collected synchronously in this study allowed us not only to observe the dispersion characteristics of individual pl...
متن کاملNOTE Skeletal isotopic record of a Porites coral during the 1998 mass bleaching event
Based on skeletal oxygen and carbon isotope analyses, we found a remarkable decrease in skeletal linear extension rate of a Porites colony during the bleaching event of 1998 around the Ryukyu Islands. Water temperature in the summer of 1998 was recorded as the highest for at least last 50 years in the region. This colony, growing in a channel of fringing reef in Ishigaki Island, has experienced...
