Local human impacts interact with geography to drive benthic community depth zonation on contemporary coral reefs | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Changes in biophysical conditions and energetic resource supply across depths are predicted to promote or limit the abundance of different coral reef benthic groups. However, the degree to which regional differences in biophysical processes govern and ...

NEW: Mud Matters. Dr Sophie Ward et al. show how ancient tides shaped carbon-rich deep-sea mud sinks storing CO₂ for 1000s of yrs. 📉If disturbed, they could release carbon into the atmosphere—worsening warming.
