Reefs from space : satellite imagery, marine ecology, and ethnography in the Dominican Republic
(1994)Coral reef bleaching is an obvious indication that coastal marine ecosystems are being stressed. However, bleached reefs alone are poor indicators because they reflect the final stages of stress. This research project used ... -
Interannual and seasonal climatic variability recorded by reef corals, Plio/Pleistocene (Florida) and Mio/Pliocene (Dominican Republic)
(2014)In this study reef corals from two Caribbean and adjacent regions in different periods were investigated. Sclerochronological records of corals from well preserved Miocene to Pleistocene reefs were used to document potential ... -
Tropical montane forest ecotones : climate gradients, natural disturbance, and vegetation zonation in the Cordillera Central, Dominican Republic
(2015)Aim: We examined relationships between climate–disturbance gradients and patterns of vegetation zonation and ecotones on a subtropical mountain range. Location: The study was conducted on the windward slopes of the ... -
The potential for mangrove and seagrass blue carbon in Small Island States
(2023)Blue carbon is attracting substantial interest as a natural climate solution. Focus has been on countries with large blue carbon stocks, though the high carbon densities of blue carbon ecosystems make them suitable for ... -
Tropical cyclones and the organization of mangrove forests : a review
(2020)Background: Many mangrove ecosystems are periodically exposed to high velocity winds and surge from tropical cyclones, and often recover with time and continue to provide numerous societal benefits in the wake of storm ...
