Responses of coral reefs and reef organisms to sedimentation
Unprecedented development along tropical shorelines is causing severe degradation of coral reefs primarily from increases in sedimentation. Sediment particles smother reef organisms and reduce light available for photosynthesis. Excessive sedmentation can adversely affect the structure and function of the coral reef ecosystem by altering both physical and biological processes. Mean sediment rat...
متن کاملThe effect of gravity on coral morphology.
Coral morphological variability reflects either genetic differences or environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity. We present two coral species that sense gravity and accordingly alter their morphology, as characterized by their slenderness (height to diameter) ratio (SR). We experimentally altered the direction (and intensity) of the gravitational resultant force acting along or perpendicul...
متن کاملWave Control on Reef Morphology and Coral Distribution:
A multi-disciplinary project lead by the U.S. Geological Survey is currently studying the fringing reef off southern Molokai, Hawaii, in an effort to characterize the biological structure and geologic variability of coral reef systems. Wave modeling and field observations were utilized to help understand the physical controls on reef morphology and the distribution of coral species. The morphol...
