Towards protecting the Great Barrier Reef from land‐based pollution
Abstract The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is an iconic coral reef system extending over 2000 km
along the north‐east coast of Australia. Global recognition of its Outstanding Universal Value …

Turbid coral reefs: past, present and future—a review
Increasing evidence suggests that coral reefs exposed to elevated turbidity may be more
resilient to climate change impacts and serve as an important conservation hotspot …

Response of the Great Barrier Reef to sea-level and environmental changes over the past 30,000 years
Previous drilling through submerged fossil coral reefs has greatly improved our
understanding of the general pattern of sea-level change since the Last Glacial Maximum …

Vulnerability of the Great Barrier Reef to climate change and local pressures
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 …

Biology in the Anthropocene: Challenges and insights from young fossil records
SM Kidwell - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
With overwhelming evidence of change in habitats, biologists today must assume that few, if
any, study areas are natural and that biological variability is superimposed on trends rather …

27 years of benthic and coral community dynamics on turbid, highly urbanised reefs off Singapore
Coral cover on reefs is declining globally due to coastal development, overfishing and
climate change. Reefs isolated from direct human influence can recover from natural acute …

Sedimentation and overfishing drive changes in early succession and coral recruitment
Sedimentation and overfishing are important local stressors on coral reefs that can
independently result in declines in coral recruitment and shifts to algal-dominated states …
