Possible effects of ocean acidification on coral reef biogeochemistry: topics for research (2008, background): “Also, nutrient loading as particles often increases skeletal growth (Bongiorni et al. 2003, Houlbrèque et al. 2003, Shafir et al. 2006), but no study to date has assessed the possible interactions between feeding and Ω.”
Nutritional status and metabolism of the coral Stylophora subseriata along a eutrophication gradient in Spermonde Archipelago (Indonesia) (2011, background): “2008) in the absence of herbivores (McCook 1999; Jompa and McCook 2002), some suggest increased nutrient levels may, paradoxically, have positive effects on the metabolic performance of some corals (Bongiorni et al. 2003).”
Fixed and suspended coral nurseries in the Philippines: Establishing the first step in the “gardening concept” of reef restoration (2008, background): “…met expectations, such as successful, cheap and fast farming of thousands of coral colonies from several coral species, with impressive rates of survivorship, fast growth and improved reproductive efforts (Bongiorni et al., 2003; Rinkevich, 2006; Shafir et al., 2006a,b; Amar and Rinkevich, 2007).”
Effects of terrestrial runoff on the ecology of corals and coral reefs: review and synthesis. (2005, background): “In small coral fragments, reduced growth probably due to physical effects (burial by settled particulate matter, light reduction) Bongiorni et al. (2003b) and Bongiorni et al. (2003a) Suspended particulate matter (SPM), sedimentation, eutrophication gradient Increased linear extension at moderate…”
Steps in the construction of underwater coral nursery, an essential component in reef restoration acts (2006, background): “The mid-water floating nursery was suspended at a depth of 6 m (14 m above sea bottom) in a nutrient-rich water body (during 2001, the monthly average nutrient levels were 0.095 lM nitrite, 0.385 lM nitrate, 0.123 lM orthophosphate and 1.016 lM ammonia; cited in Bongiorni et al. 2003).”
Long-term growth rates of four Mediterranean cold-water coral species maintained in aquaria (2011, background): “Growth rates of tropical coral species have been widely studied both in situ (e.g. Bongiorni et al. 2003, De’ath et al. 2009) and under controlled laboratory conditions, which has allowed single environmental variables on skeletal growth to be assessed (Buddemeier & Kinzie 1976, Tambutté et al.…”
