DOI: 10.1007/s00338-018-1656-3
Abstract: Understanding the response of coral growth to natural variation in the environment, as well as to acute temperature stress under current and future climate change conditions, is critical to predicting the future health of coral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-018-1666-1
Abstract: Demographic processes, such as growth, can have an important influence on the population and community structure of reef-building corals. Importantly, ongoing changes in environmental conditions (e.g. ocean warming) are expected to affect coral growth, contributing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2016.12.015
Abstract: Marine biologists usually assess coral growth through the von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF), a function of several biological parameters linked to age by a non-linear relationship. Coral growth parameters are then evaluated via ordinary least… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2019.05.003
Abstract: Abstract Coral growth rates are often used as a metric of coral health and are measured extensively in the laboratory under controlled conditions to better understand the potential impacts of future climate change scenarios. However,… read more here.

Long-term effects of competition and environmental drivers on the growth of the endangered coral Mussismilia braziliensis (Verril, 1867)

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5419
Abstract: Most coral reefs have recently experienced acute changes in benthic community structure, generally involving dominance shifts from slow-growing hard corals to fast-growing benthic invertebrates and fleshy photosynthesizers. Besides overfishing, increased nutrification and sedimentation are important… read more here.
