\n“The first was exceptionally high re-growth of fragments of surviving coral tissue,” Diaz-Pulido said. “The second was an unusual seasonal dieback in the seaweeds, and the third was the presence of a highly competitive coral species, which was able to outgrow the seaweed.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“But this also all happened in the context of a well-protected marine area and moderately good water quality”, Diaz-Pulido noted. “It is rare to see reports of reefs that bounce back from mass coral bleaching or other human impacts in less than a decade or two.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2006, high sea temperatures caused massive and severe coral bleaching in the Keppel Islands, in the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef. The damaged reefs were quickly smothered by a single species of seaweed – an event that can spell the total loss of the corals.<\/p>\n

\nThe research of Diaz-Pulido and nine colleagues was published in the journal PLoS ONE<\/em>. Understanding the stresses that affect reefs — such as overfishing and declining water quality – and the various ecological mechanisms of resilience is critical for reef management under climate change, they noted.<\/p>\n
