چکیده
Table S1. Recently documented (last 5 years) effects of climate change on reef corals (a) declining coral cover; (b) reduced diversity and shifts in coral community composition; (c) declining or low rates of coral calcification; (d) favourable conditions for higher latitude corals; (e) recent adaptation and/or acclimatisation (<20 years); and (f) longer term adaptation and/or acclimatisation (unknown timescale).

Recent Advances in Understanding the Effects of Climate Change on Coral Reefs
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the persistence of coral reefs. Sustained and ongoing increases in ocean temperatures and acidification are altering the structure and function of reefs globally. Here, we summarise recent advances in our understanding of the effects of climate change on scleractinian corals and reef fish. Although there is considerable among-species variability ...
متن کاملCalcification, Storm Damage and Population Resilience of Tabular Corals under Climate Change
Two facets of climate change--increased tropical storm intensity and ocean acidification--are expected to detrimentally affect reef-building organisms by increasing their mortality rates and decreasing their calcification rates. Our current understanding of these effects is largely based on individual organisms' short-term responses to experimental manipulations. However, predicting the ecologi...
متن کاملBiodiversity and distribution patterns of coral reef ecosystems in ROPME Sea Area (Inner part: Persian Gulf -Iranian waters)
The Persian Gulf is northern part of the ROPME Sea Area (RSA), and is semi-enclosed shallow sea which located in subtropical climate. Measuring is 1000km in length, varying in width 60-340km, and average depth is about 35m and maximum depth is 105m. This research was carried out during 2005-2010 for reviewing the corals status and determination of coral reef habitats distribution in the Persian...
متن کاملmAss CorAl BleAChing: strAtegies for supporting soCio-eCologiCAl resilienCe
This volume documents the severe consequences that climate change is predicted to have for coral reefs worldwide. While there are expected to be many impacts on coral reefs from climate change, the most immediate and dramatic are associated with rising sea temperatures and resultant mass coral bleaching events. These events have already been responsible for long-term damage to more than 16% of ...
متن کاملClimate change impacts on coral reefs: synergies with local effects, possibilities for acclimation, and management implications.
Most reviews concerning the impact of climate change on coral reefs discuss independent effects of warming or ocean acidification. However, the interactions between these, and between these and direct local stressors are less well addressed. This review underlines that coral bleaching, acidification, and diseases are expected to interact synergistically, and will negatively influence survival, ...
