Connectivity underpins the persistence of life; it needs to inform biodiversity conservation
decisions. Yet, when prioritising conservation areas and developing actions, connectivity is …

Healthy soil is the foundation underpinning global agriculture and food security. Soil erosion
is currently the most serious threat to soil health, leading to yield decline, ecosystem …

Management of the land–sea interface is essential for global conservation and sustainability
objectives because coastal regions maintain natural processes that support biodiversity and …

Coral reefs in the western Atlantic and Caribbean are deteriorating primarily from disease
outbreaks, increasing seawater temperatures, and stress due to land-based sources of …

Sediments are found on all coral reefs around the globe. However, the amount of sediment
in different reservoirs, and the rates at which sediments move between reservoirs, can …

Aim Fires can severely impact aquatic fauna, especially when attributes of soil, topography,
fire severity and post‐fire rainfall interact to cause substantial sedimentation. Such events …

Algal turfs trap and retain particulates, however, little is known about the relationship
between particulate accumulation and taxonomic composition of algal turfs. We investigated …

Deforestation impacts the ecosystem services provided by downstream coral reefs to coastal
communities in multiple ways, such as through increased sedimentation and nutrification …

Herbivorous fishes, and the productivity of algal turfs, are widely viewed as central to the
functioning of coral reefs. This understanding is largely based on clear-water reefs. Our …

Recently, increasing evidence suggests that reef-building corals exposed to elevated
suspended solids (SS) are largely structured by changes in underwater light availability …
