Coral cover and species responses to heat exposure vary across contemporary Western Atlantic reefs Open
Ocean warming threatens the persistence of tropical corals and the biologically diverse ecosystems they sustain. While field-based studies on heat impact have predominantly focused on quantifying coral bleaching, a symptom of thermal stres…

Reduced Atlantic reef growth past 2 °C warming amplifies sea-level impacts Open
Coral reefs form complex physical structures that can help to mitigate coastal flooding risk 1,2 . This function will be reduced by sea-level rise (SLR) and impaired reef growth caused by climate change and local anthropogenic stressors 3 …

Three‐dimensional photogrammetry‐based monitoring to enhance site‐level carbonate budget assessments of coral reefs Open
Census‐based carbonate budget assessments synthesize metrics on biologically derived carbonate production and erosion rates to generate estimates of net carbonate production (NCP). ReefBudget is a widely used in‐water carbonate budget appr…

Quantifying coral reef carbonate budgets: a comparison between ReefBudget and CoralNet Open
Calcium carbonate production constitutes one of the core processes that drive coral reef ecosystem functioning and can be assessed using in-water or image-based survey methods, which have not previously been compared. This study compares c…

Quantifying coral reef accretion in a changing world: approaches, challenges and emerging opportunities Open
The long-term development of coral reef frameworks and the net vertical accretion of reefs fundamentally underpins the provisioning of most reef-related ecosystem services. One area of particular concern at present is how rates of reef acc…

Computational investigation of silica-supported Pd <sub> <i>n</i> </sub> and Pd <sub> <i>n</i> </sub> ( <i>x</i> O) nanoclusters Open
Dispersion corrected DFT calculations of the catalytically important Pd/SiO 2 system. We show that calcination leads to stronger metal surface interactions through the elimination of water and that these anchor points can stabilize metal c…

Coral carbonate production across depth: homogenisation after bleaching? Open
Recurrent climate-driven warming events, which can induce severe coral bleaching and mortality on tropical reefs, are predicted to cause homogenisation of coral communities and loss of ecosystem functions in shallow reef systems (< 30 m). …

Fine‐grained sediment production by endolithic sponges on Caribbean coral reefs Open
Endolithic sponges are key players in carbonate cycling on coral reef systems. While their bioerosion of reef framework is relatively well studied, their role in biogenic sediment generation is poorly understood. In this study, the sedimen…

Rubble persistence under ocean acidification threatened by accelerated bioerosion and lower‐density coral skeletons Open
As the balance between erosional and constructive processes on coral reefs tilts in favor of framework loss under human‐induced local and global change, many reef habitats worldwide degrade and flatten. The resultant generation of coral ru…

Coral restoration can drive rapid reef carbonate budget recovery Open
Restoration is increasingly seen as a necessary tool to reverse ecological decline across terrestrial and marine ecosystems.1,2 Considering the unprecedented loss of coral cover and associated reef ecosystem services, active coral restorat…

Quantifying endolithic bioerosion rates on remote coral reefs in the Central Indian Ocean Open
Bioerosion of calcium carbonate is a fundamental process that impacts net coral reef accretion. Besides large grazers, endolithic organisms play a major role in carbonate removal. Here we provide the first rate data for both macro- and mic…

Decadal-scale variation in coral calcification on coral-depleted Caribbean reefs Open
Over recent decades, many Caribbean reefs have transitioned to states where stony corals are no longer spatially dominant. The community dynamics culminating in this outcome are well known, but its functional implications remain incomplete…

Falling Short: Does Energy Code Compliance and Enforcement Vary by Income? Open
Energy code compliance ensures that newly constructed homes achieve the realized savings associated with updated energy codes. While energy code adoption typically occurs at the state level, code implementation occurs at the within individ…

Author comment: Quantifying reef-derived sediment generation: Introducing the SedBudget methodology to support tropical coastline and island vulnerability studies — R1/PR6 Open
Standardised methodologies for assessing reef-derived sediment generation rates do not presently exist. This represents a major knowledge gap relevant to better predicting reef-derived shoreline sediment supply. The census-based SedBudget …

Coral adaptive capacity insufficient to halt global transition of coral reefs into net erosion under climate change Open
Projecting the effects of climate change on net reef calcium carbonate production is critical to understanding the future impacts on ecosystem function, but prior estimates have not included corals' natural adaptive capacity to such change…
