Patterns of resistance and resilience of the stress-tolerant coral Siderastrea radians (Pallas) to sub-optimal salinity and sediment burial. (2009, methodology): “The impacts associated with sedimentation and sediment burial include reduced photosynthesis and increased respiration (Riegl and Branch, 1995; Philipp and Fabricius, 2003; Weber et al., 2006), tissue mortality (Rogers, 1983, 1990), reduced growth (Dodge et al.”
Effects of suspended sediments, dissolved inorganic nutrients and salinity on fertilisation and embryo development in the coral Acropora millepora (Ehrenberg, 1834) (2008, background): “The Wfth sediment type was aragonite silt, a by-product of slicing coral skeletons of massive Porites sp. for growth band analyses (for details see Weber et al. 2006).”
Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: a review. (2012, unknown): “Furthermore, high nutrient contents of silt can lead to microbial activity, eventually causing the underlying coral tissue to become necrotic (Weber et al., 2006; Hodgson, 1990a).”
