Prediction of Bleaching in Coral Reef Communities Using a Temperature Index(Southern and northern Persian Gulf)
Sea surface temperature is one of the most effective physical parameters that affects the health of coral reefs communities.High frequency of the bleaching phenomenon has extensively occurred in the Persian Gulf in the recent years due to the increase in temperature and increased changes in the sea surface temperature (SST) resulting in great mortality in the coral communities. The aim of this ...
متن کاملMitigation of Coral Reef Warming Across the Central Pacific by the Equatorial Undercurrent: A Past and Future Divide
Global climate models (GCMs) predict enhanced warming and nutrient decline across the central tropical Pacific as trade winds weaken with global warming. Concurrent changes in circulation, however, have potential to mitigate these effects for equatorial islands. The implications for densely populated island nations, whose livelihoods depend on ecosystem services, are significant. A unique suite...
متن کاملSimplification of Caribbean Reef-Fish Assemblages over Decades of Coral Reef Degradation
Caribbean coral reefs are becoming structurally simpler, largely due to human impacts. The consequences of this trend for reef-associated communities are currently unclear, but expected to be profound. Here, we assess whether changes in fish assemblages have been non-random over several decades of declining reef structure. More specifically, we predicted that species that depend exclusively on ...
متن کاملApplying Mcsst to Coral Reef Bleaching
In the 1980s and early 1990s, coral reef bleaching events of unprecedented frequency and global extent were observed. Elevated water temperature is suspected as the primary causal stress of mass bleaching events from this period. The relationship between sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and coral bleaching events was investigated using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Multi...
متن کاملBIFURCATION ANALYSIS OF A DDE MODEL OF THE CORAL REEF
In this paper, first we discuss a local stability analysis of model was introduced by P. J. Mumby et. al. (2007), with $frac{gM^{2}}{M+T}$ as the functional response term. We conclude that the grazing intensity is the important parameter to control the existence or extinction of the coral reef. Next, we consider this model under the influence of the time delay as the bifurcat...
