Positive Feedbacks Enhance Macroalgal Resilience on Degraded Coral Reefs.
Many reefs have shifted from coral and fish dominated habitats to less productive macroalgal dominated habitats, and current research is investigating means of reversing this phase shift. In the tropical Pacific, overfished reefs with inadequate herbivory can become dominated by the brown alga Sarga...
