A biological condition gradient for Caribbean coral reefs: Part II. Numeric rules using sessile benthic organisms

Summary: The Biological Condition Gradient (BCG) is a conceptual model used to describe incremental changes in biological condition along a gradient of increasing anthropogenic stress. We developed a numeric BCG model for the coral reefs of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands to facilitate ecologically meaningful management decisions. The model employs decision rules based on multiple attributes to assess coral reef condition and has shown high predictive accuracy in site ratings.

A biological condition gradient for coral reefs in the US Caribbean Territories: Part I. Coral narrative rules

Deborah L. Santavy et al.

Summary: With the decline in coral reef condition worldwide, it is important to understand and communicate the response of coral reefs to management actions, environmental contamination, and natural disasters. A narrative model has been developed to evaluate the condition of coral reefs and detect changes using narrative descriptions. The model can be used to assess actions that affect coral reef ecosystems and develop management plans.
