Coastal zones, the world's most densely populated regions, are increasingly threatened by
climate change stressors—rising and warming seas, intensifying storms and droughts, and …

Soil erosion is generally recognized as the dominant process of land degradation. The
formation and expansion of gullies is often a highly significant process of soil erosion …

Coral reefs worldwide are facing impacts from climate change, overfishing, habitat
destruction, and pollution. The cumulative effect of these impacts on global capacity of coral …

Globally, collapse of ecosystems—potentially irreversible change to ecosystem structure,
composition and function—imperils biodiversity, human health and well‐being. We examine …

Coral reef ecosystems are being fundamentally restructured by local human impacts and
climate-driven marine heatwaves that trigger mass coral bleaching and mortality. Reducing …

Spatial and temporal patterns of future coral bleaching are uncertain, hampering global
conservation efforts to protect coral reefs against climate change. Our analysis of daily …

Recurrent mass bleaching events threaten the future of coral reefs. To persist under climate
change, corals will need to endure progressively more intense and frequent marine …

Global climate change threatens tropical coral reefs, yet local management can influence
resilience. While increasing anthropogenic nutrients reduce coral resistance and recovery, it …

Over 60% of the world's reefs experience damage from local activities such as overfishing,
coastal development, and watershed pollution. Land-based sources of pollution are a critical …

Climate change is increasing the frequency and magnitude of temperature anomalies that
cause coral bleaching, leading to widespread mortality of stony corals that can …
