摘要：
Climate change and global warming have severe consequences for the survival of scleractinian (reef-building) corals and their associated ecosystems, This review summarizes recent literature on the influence of temperature on coral growth, coral bleaching, and modelling the effects of high temperature on corals. Satellite-based sea surface temperature (SST) and coral bleaching information available on the internet is an important tool in monitoring and modelling coral responses to temperature. Within the narrow temperature range for coral growth, corals can respond to rate of temperature change as well as to temperature per se. We need to continue to develop models of how non-steady-state processes Such as global warming and climate change will affect coral reefs. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
