Corals that survive these extreme events must rapidly recover if they are to withstand subsequent events, and long-term survival in the face of rising ocean temperatures may hinge on recovery capacity and acclimatory gains in heat tolerance over an individual's lifespan. To better understand coral recovery trajectories in the face of successive marine heatwaves, we monitored the responses of bleaching-susceptible and bleaching-resistant individuals of two dominant coral species in Hawaiʻi, Montipora capitata and Porites compressa, over a decade that included three marine heatwaves.\n\nThis dataset contains benthic cover data and photoquadrat images including point counts and organism identifications from patch reef 13 in Kāne'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i from 2015 to 2022.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nImage_ID (unitless)\nImage_name (unitless)\nmonth (unitless)\nday (unitless)\nyear (unitless)\nDate (unitless)\nAnnotation_status (unitless)\nPoints (per point)\nCoral_Juvenile (per point)\nDiseased_Coral (per point)\nLeptastrea_purpurea (per point)\nPigmented_Montipora_capitata (per point)\nPavona_varians (per point)\nPigmented_Porites_Compressa (per point)\nRecent_Dead_Coral (per point)\nAscidian (per point)\nMycale_grandis (per point)\nSponge (per point)\n...

log in [Coral reef benthic composition in SGD] - Impacts of submarine groundwater discharge on benthic community composition and functional diversity on coral reefs in Mo'orea, French Polynesia from Aug 2021 to Jun 2022 (RUI: Collaborative Research: Defining the biogeochemical context and ecological impacts of submarine groundwater discharge on coral reefs) Coral reefs experience numerous natural and anthropogenic environmental gradients that alter biophysical conditions and affect biodiversity. While many studies have focused on drivers of reef biodiversity using traditional diversity metrics (e.g., species richness, diversity, evenness), less is known about how environmental variability may influence functional diversity. In this study, we tested the impact of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) on taxonomic and functional diversity metrics in Mo'orea, French Polynesia. SGD is the expulsion of terrestrial fresh or recirculated seawater into marine environments and is associated with reduced temperatures, pH, and salinity and elevated nutrient levels. Using a regression approach along the SGD gradient, we found that taxon and functional-entity richness displayed unimodal relationships to SGD parameters, primarily nitrate + nitrite and phosphate variability, with peak richness at moderate SGD for stony coral and the full benthic community. Macroalgae showed this unimodal pattern for functional-entity but not taxonomic richness. Functional community composition (presence and abundance of functional entities) increased along the gradient, while taxonomic composition showed a nonlinear relationship to SGD-related parameters. SGD is a common feature of many coastal ecosystems globally and therefore may be more important to structuring benthic functional diversity than previously thought. Further, studying community shifts through a functional-trait lens may provide important insights into the roles of community functions on ecosystem processes and stability, leading to improved management strategies. This dataset includes site identifiers and survey metadata, substrate composition, structural complexity (rugosity), seawater parameters (salinity, temperature, pH, nutrients), taxonomic and functional traits of benthic taxa (morphology, calcification strategy, trophic group), proportional cover of benthic taxa, and community-level diversity metrics.\n\ncdm_data_type = Other\nVARIABLES:\nCowTagID (unitless)\nDate (unitless)\nTaxa (unitless)\npcover (percent)\nTaxon_Group (unitless)\nMorph2 (unitless)\n...
