HIGHLIGHTS

• who: J. M. Lough from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Increasing thermal stress for tropical coral reefs: 1871-2017, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 12/01/2018
• what: The authors examine the historical level of stress for 100 coral reef locations with robust bleaching histories.

SUMMARY

The resulting thermal stress can lead to breakdown of the coral-algal symbiosis, essential for the functioning of reefs, and cause coral bleaching. Mass coral bleaching is a modern phenomenon associated with increases in reef temperatures due to recent global warming. The authors examine . . .
