Evidence for multiple stressor interactions and effects on coral reefs

SS Ban, NAJ Graham, SR Connolly - Global change biology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Concern is growing about the potential effects of interacting multiple stressors, especially as
the global climate changes. We provide a comprehensive review of multiple stressor …

Global warming and recurrent mass bleaching of corals

TP Hughes, JT Kerry, M Įlvarez-Noriega… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Abstract During 2015–2016, record temperatures triggered a pan-tropical episode of coral
