Temporal and Spatial Variabilities of Chemical and Physical Parameters on the Heron Island Coral Reef Platform

Samuel A. H. Kekuewa et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the variability in seawater physicochemical properties is mainly driven by solar irradiance and tidal cycles, along with local geomorphology, resulting in unpredictable changes across different spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, a combined approach is necessary to develop predictive capability for seawater properties on coral reefs.

Characterizing Mean and Extreme Diurnal Variability of Ocean CO2 System Variables Across Marine Environments

Olivier Torres et al.

Summary: The diurnal variability of ocean CO2 system variables is considerable and can exceed the seasonal amplitude, especially at coastal sites and near coral reefs. Extreme diurnal variability may surpass the projected changes in mean states of pCO(2) and [H+], highlighting its importance in Earth system models.

Synergies between local and climate-driven impacts on coral reefs in the Tropical Pacific: A review of issues and adaptation opportunities

Leo X. C. Dutra et al.

Summary: Coral reefs in the tropical Pacific region face various anthropogenic pressures, with climate change exacerbating these impacts and leading to negative socioeconomic consequences for communities. Traditional resource governance systems in Pacific island nations offer a foundation for addressing local pressures and enhancing reef resilience to climate change. Management and adaptation options should utilize the diversity of governance systems and traditional knowledge to support community initiatives and cross-sector cooperation.

Lateral, Vertical, and Temporal Variability of Seawater Carbonate Chemistry at Hog Reef, Bermuda

Ariel K. Pezner et al.

Summary: Spatial and temporal carbonate chemistry variability on coral reefs is influenced by a combination of seawater hydrodynamics, geomorphology, and biogeochemical processes, with their relative impacts differing by site. Lateral variability in carbonate chemistry parameters was found to be larger than vertical variability, and this variability was observed in conjunction with depth gradients, although it varied between sampling events depending on factors such as time of day and current flow modifications.

Severe coral bleaching of Siderastrea stellata at the only atoll in the South Atlantic driven by sequential Marine Heatwaves

Taina L. Gaspar et al.

Summary: Threatened by global warming and extreme climatic events, coral reefs worldwide faced severe bleaching and mortality events between 2014 and 2017, with a particularly critical situation in 2019. The bleaching rate of Siderastrea stellata in the Southwestern Atlantic varied significantly in different years, with a sharp increase in 2019, while mortality remained relatively low. Marine Heatwaves were likely the primary driver of the observed bleaching events in 2019.

Technical note: Interpreting pH changes

Andrea J. Fassbender et al.

Summary: The number and quality of ocean pH measurements have significantly increased in recent decades, but comparing pH changes across domains with different initial pH values can be misleading. It is recommended to use [HC] in addition to pH when describing such changes.
