Coral reef disturbance and recovery dynamics differ across gradients of localized stressors in the Mariana Islands.

Coral reef disturbance and recovery dynamics differ across gradients of localized stressors in the Mariana Islands.

Show other versions (1)

The individual contribution of natural disturbances, localized stressors, and environmental regimes upon longer-term reef dynamics remains poorly resolved for many locales despite its significance for management. This study examined coral reefs in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands acr...
