Response of reef corals on a fringing reef flat to elevated suspended-sediment concentrations: Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi
A long-term (10 month exposure) experiment on effects of suspended sediment on the mortality, growth, and recruitment of the reef corals Montipora capitata and Porites compressa was conducted on the shallow reef flat off south Moloka'i, Hawai'i. Corals were grown on wire platforms with attached coral recruitment tiles along a suspended solid concentration (SSC) gradient that ranged from 37 mg l...
متن کاملOcean Transport Pathways to a World Heritage Fringing Coral Reef: Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia
A Lagrangian particle tracking model driven by a regional ocean circulation model was used to investigate the seasonally varying connectivity patterns within the shelf circulation surrounding the 300 km long Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia (WA) during 2009-2010. Forward-in-time simulations revealed that surface water was transported equatorward and offshore in summer due to the upwelling-fav...
متن کاملThe influence of sea level rise and changes in fringing reef morphology on gradients in alongshore sediment transport
[1] Climate-change-induced alterations to coral reef ecosystems, in combination with sea level rise, have the potential to significantly alter wave dissipation across reefs, leading to shifts in alongshore sediment transport gradients and alterations to tropical coastlines. We used Delft3D to model schematized profiles of two reef flat widths based on the south Molokai, Hawaii coast. Simulated ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Sea Level Rise and Changes in Fringing Reef Morphology on Patterns of Coastal Sediment Transport
Climate change can strongly influence coral reef ecosystems, affecting species composition, growth rates, and reef morphology, potentially leading to altered wave energy dissipation across reefs. Sea level rise can also alter wave dissipation, which may lead to shifts in alongshore sediment transport gradients, thereby altering erosion and accretion patterns on tropical coastlines. Delft3D was ...
متن کاملFringing reef growth and morphology: a review
Fringing reefs are generally not simple veneers of coral growth along tropical shorelines. Extensive research over the past few decades, based on radiocarbon dating of Holocene reef deposits, has indicated that they can develop in a complex variety of ways even though the surface morphology may appear relatively simple. The principal factor that appears to determine the growth and morphology of...
