attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String In November 2014, benthic surveys were performed at the thirteen reef sites.\nDepth of each reef site was standardized to 3-5m. Reef types surveyed included\nback reefs, patch reefs, and nearshore reefs. A team of three divers surveyed\nsix belt transects (dimension 6 x 10 m) at each site following Atlantic and\nGulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA) methodology (Ginsberg and Lang, 2003).\nBriefly, a diver classified the genus and species of every coral\n>6cm2\\u00a0within 1m of the transect line along a 10m transect. The number and\nsize (length, width, and height) of individual colonies of each coral species\nwere recorded on underwater data sheets. The collected data were used to\ncalculate coral species diversity, abundance, richness, and coral life history\n(following Darling\\u00a0et al. 2012) for each site.\n \nAdditionally, six video belt transects (1 x 20m) were also performed at each\nsite using GoPro\\u00ae cameras attached to PVC stabilizing apparatuses\nallowing each diver to stabilize the camera while surveying transects. Video\ntransects were analyzed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\n(UNC-Chapel Hill) in a manner similar to the AGRRA method used in the field,\nexcept two additional parameters (percent coral cover and coral density) were\ncalculated. Results of the diver and video transect surveys were not\nsignificantly different (p\\u00a0= 0.300). As a result diver and video survey\ndata were pooled at each site when possible. Full details and a comparison of\nthe methods employed are available in\\u00a0S1 Appendix\\u00a0of\\u00a0Baumann et\nal (2016).

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String Thermal History and Coral Growth
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String Thermal History and Coral Growth
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String Description from NSF award abstract:\nRising global ocean surface temperatures have reduced coral growth rates, thereby negatively impacting the health of coral reef ecosystems worldwide. Recent studies on tropical reef building corals reveal that corals' growth in response to ocean warming may be influenced by their previous seawater temperature exposure - their thermal history. Although these recent findings highlight significant variability in coral growth in response to climate change, uncertainty remains as to the spatial scale at which corals' thermal history influences how they have responded to ocean warming and how they will likely respond to predicted future increases in ocean temperature. This study investigates the influence of thermal history on coral growth in response to recent and predicted seawater temperatures increases across four ecologically relevant spatial scales ranging from reef ecosystems, to reef communities, to reef populations, to an individual coral colony. By understanding how corals have responded in the past across a range of ecological scales, the Principal Investigator will be able to improve the ability to predict their susceptibility and resilience, which could then be applied to coral reef conservation in the face of climate change. This research project will broaden the participation of undergraduates from underrepresented groups and educate public radio listeners using minority voices and narratives. The scientist will leverage current and new partnerships to recruit and train minority undergraduates, thus allowing them to engage high school students near field sites in Florida, Belize, and Panama. Through peer advising, undergraduates will document this research on a digital news site for dissemination to the public. The voice of the undergraduates and scientist will ground the production of a public radio feature exploring the topic of acclimatization and resilience - a capacity for stress tolerance within coral reef ecosystems. This project will provide a postdoctoral researcher and several graduate students with opportunities for field and laboratory research training, teaching and mentoring, and professional development. The results will allow policy makers from Florida, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System countries, and several Central American countries to benefit from Caribbean-scale inferences that incorporate corals' physiological abilities, thereby improving coral reef management for the region.\nCoral reefs are at significant risk due to a variety of local and global scale anthropogenic stressors. Although various stressors contribute to the observed decline in coral reef health, recent studies highlight rising seawater temperatures due to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration as one of the most significant stressors influencing coral growth rates. However, there is increasing recognition of problems of scale since a coral's growth response to an environmental stressor may be conditional on the scale of description. This research will investigate the following research questions: (1) How has seawater temperature on reef ecosystems (Florida Keys Reef Tract, USA; Belize Barrier Reef System, Belize; and Bocas Del Toro Reef Complex, Panama), reef communities (inshore and offshore reefs), reef populations (individual reefs), and near reef colonies (individual colonies), varied in the past? (2) How has seawater temperature influenced rates of coral growth and how does the seawater temperature-coral growth relationship vary across these four ecological spatial scales? (3) Does the seawater temperature-coral growth relationship forecast rates of coral growth under predicted end-of-century ocean warming at the four ecological spatial scales? Long term sea surface temperature records and small-scale high-resolution in situ seawater temperature measurements will be compared with growth chronologies for the reef building corals Siderastrea siderea and Orbicella faveolata, two keystone species ubiquitously distributed throughout the Caribbean Sea. Nutrients and irradiance will be quantified via satellite-derived observations, in situ measurements, and established colorimetric protocols. Field and laboratory experiments will be combined to examine seawater temperature-coral growth relationships under recent and predicted end-of-century ocean warming at four ecologically relevant spatial scales. The findings of this study will help us bridge the temperature-coral growth response gap across ecologically relevant spatial scales and thus improve our understanding of how corals have responded to recent warming. This will lead to more meaningful predictions about future coral growth response to climate change.
