Image title	TITLE=Multiple Stressors and Ecological Complexity Require A New Approach to Coral Reef ResearchAUTHORS=Pendleton Linwood Hagan, Hoegh-Guldberg Ove, Langdon Chris, Comte AdrienJOURNAL=Frontiers in Marine ScienceVOLUME=3YEAR=2016In a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions’ Linwood Pendleton—with co-authors from the University of Miami, the University of Queensland and the University of Brest—report that evidence is stacking up to suggest that impacts to coral reefs may be underestimated. In Pendleton words: The science is developing so rapidly around impacts to coral reefs that most in the public and scientific community have developed opinions based on outdated studies that focus on just one stressor or species of coral at a time. The has led to two main misconceptions—the risk to coral reefs from global environmental changes may be overblown, and the complexity of coral reef ecosystem may make them more resilient to global environmental changes such as warmer seas, bleaching, and ocean acidification.Our work reviews recent scientific literature, with a focus on the last five years, in an effort to better understand what is known about coral reefs when they are exposed to more than one stressor. We also examined recent discoveries about the ways these stresses affect different aspects of ecological health and functioning in reefs. It’s not just bleaching and a loss of calcium shells, changes in temperature, and ocean acidification—driven by the increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere—can cause coral reefs to grow more slowly and inhibit their reproduction. When these stresses occur simultaneously, they have effects that are far more detrimental than previously anticipated. The implications are, one, coral reef ecosystems may start to die or change much sooner than we thought, and two, coral reefs that are damaged, whether by storms, bleaching, or human-created actions, can’t rebound like they once could.Funding for this study was provided by the Prince Albert II Foundation.
