Coral recruitment and early benthic community development on several materials used in the construction of artificial reefs and breakwaters (2009, background): “This was unexpected given that this material had the greatest roughness of all substrates examined, and is the same substratum that forms the foundation of natural reefs in this area (Burt et al., 2008; Riegl, 1999).”
Are artificial reefs surrogates of natural habitats for corals and fish in Dubai, United Arab Emirates? (2009, background): “Increasing coastal development in Dubai is resulting in the substantial loss of natural coral habitat (Wilkinson 2004; Burt et al. 2008).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “(1999) with near-total extirpation of six species of Acropora from the southeastern Arabian Gulf (United Arab Emirates and Qatar) in 1996 (mortality >90%), which after nearly a decade had only recovered in a small area (Burt et al., 2008).”
Model of coral population response to accelerated bleaching and mass mortality in a changing climate (2009, methodology): “However, both in the field and the connected model Acropora persisted through the disturbances and had staged a moderate come-back by 2008 (see also Burt et al., 2008).”
