Light limitation and depth-variable sedimentation drives vertical reef compression on turbid coral reefs
Turbid coral reefs experience high suspended sediment loads and low-light conditions that vertically compress the maximum depth of reef growth. Although vertical reef compression is hypothesized to further decrease available coral habitat as environmental conditions on reefs change, its causative pr...
