Island Reef Connections

Research by this team has shown how seabird guano can enhance coral reef productivity, biodiversity, and how they work. The team are conducting this research in the Chagos Archipelago, Seychelles, and French Polynesia, incorporating into their study sites, islands with and without rats, and those with ongoing rat eradication programmes. The research will help inform tropical island conservation and restoration efforts all around the world.
Lead investigator: Prof. Nick Graham (Lancaster University).

Coral restoration can drive rapid reef carbonate budget recovery (dataset) Mar 12, 2024 Lange, I; Razak, TB; Perry, CT; Maulana, PB; Prasetya, ME; Irwan; Lamont, TAC, 2024, "Coral restoration can drive rapid reef carbonate budget recovery (dataset)", https://doi.org/10.24378/EXE.5065 Restoration is increasingly seen as a necessary tool to reverse ecological decline across terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Considering the unprecedented loss of coral cover and associated reef ecosystem services, active coral restoration is gaining traction in local management strategies and has recently seen major increases in scale.

Structure-from-motion photogrammetry demonstrates variability in coral growth within colonies and across habitats (dataset) Dec 1, 2022 Lange, I; Molina-Hernández, A; Medellín-Maldonado, F; Perry, CTP; Álvarez-Filip, L, 2024, "Structure-from-motion photogrammetry demonstrates variability in coral growth within colonies and across habitats (dataset)", https://doi.org/10.24378/EXE.4285 Coral growth is an important metric of coral health and underpins reef-scale functional attributes such as structural complexity and calcium carbonate production. There persists, however, a paucity of growth data for most reef-building regions, especially for coral species whose skeletal architecture prevents the use of traditional methods such as...

Recovery trends of reef carbonate budgets at remote coral atolls six years post-bleaching (dataset) Mar 25, 2022 Lange, I; Perry, C; Stuhr, M, 2024, "Recovery trends of reef carbonate budgets at remote coral atolls six years post-bleaching (dataset)", https://doi.org/10.24378/EXE.3863 Coral bleaching events and resultant changes in benthic community composition and population size structure can diminish the important geo-ecological functions reefs provide, including habitat provision and carbonate production to support reef accretion. Net reef carbonate budgets, the balance between carbonate production and erosion processes, are... The metadata for the Dataset was harvested from DataCite.
