Coral reef resilience on the Padang shelf reef system, West Sumatra, Indonesia, after the 1997 massive coral die off
並列摘要
In 1997, corals on the Padang Shelf Reef System (PSRS) experienced a massive die off associated with the Indian Ocean Dipole resulting in an upwelling event caused by unusually strong winds which increased nutrient levels in the ocean and decreased water temperature by up to 10℃. Oceanic nutrient levels were elevated and a massive red tide event occurred. PSRS live coral cover declined to 0%. After nearly 17 years, we resurveyed the reefs and observed moderate to high levels of live coral cover and a change in dominant corals. The previously dominant branching Acropora formosa and A. nobilis were extirpated. Fishing with explosives had ceased. Branching Acropora rubble, primarily a result of blast fishing, had yet to completely consolidate and inhibited resettlement. Large, healthy populations of branching Acropora were observed around Cubadak and Pagang Islands and may be a larval source for resettlement of PSRS reefs.
