All living things depend on their natural environment, either directly or indirectly, for their
high quality of life, growth, nutrition, and development. Due to the fast emissions of …

Coral reefs can provide significant coastal protection benefits to people and property. Here
we show that the annual expected damages from flooding would double, and costs from …

Ocean warming under climate change threatens coral reefs directly, through fatal heat stress
to corals and indirectly, by boosting the energy of cyclones that cause coral destruction and …

Threats from climate change and other human pressures have led to widespread concern
for the future of Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Resilience of GBR reefs will be …

Severe marine heatwaves have recently become a common feature of global ocean
conditions due to a rapidly changing climate [1, 2]. These increasingly severe thermal …

Corals of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have declined over the past 30 years. While reef
state depends on the balance between disturbance and recovery, most studies have …

In the face of increasing cumulative effects from human and natural disturbances, sustaining
coral reefs will require a deeper understanding of the drivers of coral resilience in space and …

Anthropogenic disturbances are posing unprecedented challenges to the persistence of
ecosystems worldwide. The speed at which these disturbances reach an ecosystem's …

Climate‐driven alterations to disturbance regimes are increasingly disrupting patterns of
recovery in many biomes. Here, we examine the impact of disturbance and subsequent level …

Abstract Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is under pressure from a suite of stressors
including cyclones, crown‐of‐thorns starfish (COTS), nutrients from river run‐off and …
