Analysis on ecological characteristics of Mississippian coral reefs in Langping, Guangxi
Abstract Several Late Viséan-Serpukhovian coral reefs were identified in Langping, Tianlin. They provided an opportunity to investigate paleo-environments suitable for the development of reef-building communities and the construction of coral reefs in Langping. In this paper, part of the reef-buildi...

| description | Abstract Several Late Viséan-Serpukhovian coral reefs were identified in Langping, Tianlin. They provided an opportunity to investigate paleo-environments suitable for the development of reef-building communities and the construction of coral reefs in Langping. In this paper, part of the reef-building environmental and the ecological characteristics of coral reefs then were elaborated by analyzing the development settings, palaeogeography, sedimentation of reefs, the response to hydrodynamic conditions of reef-building corals, effects of disturbance and non-reef-building organism on reef communities, and the influence of coral morphology on reef development. It is considered that the sedimentary environment of Langping in Late Viséan-Serpukhovian is suitable for the development of benthic communities. The current appearance of reefs is determined by both coral populations ecological characteristics and reef-building environment. |
