Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review (2016, background): “In addition to the important role of temperature in bleaching, light levels have also been implicated as a causative factor [197,198] and it has been suggested that cloud cover may protect against bleaching even when SSTs are elevated [199].”
Ocean acidification causes bleaching and productivity loss in coral reef builders (2008, background): “Because bleaching is a progressive response (because of gradual chlorophyll depletion over time) (43) effects on productivity were also analyzed at the end of the experiment.”
Herbicides increase the vulnerability of corals to rising sea surface temperature (2011, background): “Thus, it was implied that this reduction in local stressors could ‘‘buy time’’ for corals to adapt or acclimatize to increased SST. High turbidity, on the other hand, was found to protect corals from elevated SST and irradiance in a laboratory experiment (Anthony et al. 2007).”
Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: a review. (2012, unknown): “…Flores et al. (2011) Acropora nobilis (Dana, 1846) 10 mg/l (42 days) Increased survival from high temperature treatment compared to control L 1.5 Anthony et al. (2007) Acropora spp. 170 mg/l (hours) of marine snow/SPM Mucus production in response to flocculation Fabricius and Wolanski (2000)…”
Energetics approach to predicting mortality risk from environmental stress: a case study of coral bleaching (2009, methodology): “Whether a coral survives or dies from a bleaching event is likely to be determined largely by the dynamics of its energy stores, ES(t) (Grottoli et al. 2006; Anthony et al. 2007; Rodrigues & Grottoli 2007).”
