Cumulative bleaching undermines systemic resilience of the Great Barrier Reef
Cheung, M.W.M. et al., Current Biology
Climate change and ENSO have triggered five mass coral bleaching events on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR), three of which occurred in the last 5 years. Here, we explore the cumulative nature of recent impacts and how they fragment the reef’s connectivity. The coverage and intensity of thermal stress have increased steadily over time.
