Air pollution 'affects coral growth'
2013-04-08 08:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Researchers have found the strongest evidence yet that aerosols from burning fossil fuels are affecting coral growth. They say that these sooty particles can cool sea surface temperatures and limit the size of reefs. But they also believe this chilling effect could prevent the corals from bleaching in warmer waters. The research is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. Coral reefs all over the world have been under pressure from a range of human impacts. With a rise in global...

Pollution slows coral reef growth

PlanetEarth: Fine particles produced by burning fossil fuels are slowing coral reef growth, say scientists. The new research, which is published today in Nature Geoscience, shows for the first time that there is a clear link between the speed at which corals grow, and pollution caused by human activity. The international team found that when these fine particles -- known as aerosols -- are released into the atmosphere by either volcanic eruptions or burning coal, they reflect incoming sunlight and shade...

Remote coral reefs can be tougher than they look
2013-04-05 16:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Isolated coral reefs can recover from catastrophic damage as effectively as those with nearby undisturbed neighbours, a long-term study by marine biologists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (CoECRS) has shown. Scott Reef, a remote coral system in the Indian Ocean, has largely recovered from a catastrophic mass bleaching event in 1998, according to the study published in Science today. The study challenges conventional...
Isolated Coral Reefs Can Heal Themselves

LiveScience: Coral reefs may be more independent and resilient than previously thought. New research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998 has regenerated in a very short time to become nearly as healthy as it was before. What surprises scientists, though, is that the reef regenerated by itself, found a study published today (April 4) in the journal Science. Until now, scientists have thought that damaged reefs depend on...
