Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “…attributed to reduced herbivory (Hughes 1994; Hughes and Connell 1999), increased nutrients (Banner 1974; Smith et al. 1981; Lapointe et al. 2005; Fabricius 2005), and reductions in live coral cover due to environmental stress and disturbance (McClanahan et al. 1999; Diaz-Pulida and McCook 2002).”
Climate change and the future for coral reef fishes (2008, background): “Elevated sedimentation, in particular, can increase coral mortality from bleaching and reduce the capacity of reefs to recover after mass bleaching (Fabricius 2005; Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007).”
Community ecology of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (2010, background): “In general, heavy sedimentation is associated with lower coral abundance (Rogers 1990; Fabricius 2005).”
Benefits of Classical Biological Control for Managing Invasive Plants (2005, background): “For example, some herbicides (e.g., diuron and atrazine) were found to cause rapid, but reversible, photophysiological stress in corals after short-term exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations ( 1 µg L−1) (Fabricius, 2005), presumably by inhibition of photosynthesis in zooxanthellae.”
Herbicides increase the vulnerability of corals to rising sea surface temperature (2011, background): “2003) and pollution including eutrophication (Fabricius 2005).”
Crustose coralline algae can suppress macroalgal growth and recruitment on Hawaiian coral reefs (2011, positive): “…decreased abundance of CCA is correlated with chronic human disturbances on coral reefs worldwide (e.g. eutrophication: Littler & Littler 1984b, Björk et al. 1995, Belliveau & Paul 2002; sedimentation: Fabricius & De’ath 2001, Fabricius 2005; overfishing: Littler & Littler 1984a,b, Steneck 1997).”
Water quality of the Great Barrier Reef: distributions, effects on reef biota and trigger values for the protection of ecosystem health (2008, background): “Coral recruitment is the most sensitive life history stage, and a reduction in coral recruitment arguably represents the most severe direct effect of poor water quality on coral communities (Fabricius 2005).”
The ecological significance of giant clams in coral reef ecosystems (2015, background): “In coastal marine waters, corals may be competitively excluded by macroalgae or heterotrophic filter feeders as the water becomes more eutrophic (Fabricius, 2005).”
