Rapid decline of a relatively high latitude coral assemblage at Weizhou Island, northern South China Sea

2019-12-01

Abstract excerpt

“Refuge theory” suggests that global warming would be beneficial to corals in high latitude waters. In theory, then, the Weizhou Island reef (21°00′–21°10′N, 109°00′–109°15′E), which is located in a relatively high latitude area in the northern South China Sea, is a refuge for corals under global warming. Yet, the corals here have degenerated significantly. We investigated the ecological status of the Weizhou Isla...
