tailieunhanh - Carbon dioxide and sea surface temperature as predictor of coral reef bleaching occurrence and severity levels

Coral reefs and the services it provide are seriously threatened by ocean acidification and climate change impacts like coral bleaching. Carbon dioxide and sea surface temperature are the two most important variable in connection to coral bleaching events. Understanding effects of the two is empirical in uncovering new information and relationships of bleaching events with local and global environmental properties (SST and CO2). |
