Abstract

Juliano Morais explored how climate-induced bleaching events affect coral demographics and functions on the Great Barrier Reef. Revealing genus-specific survival and recovery patterns, his research informs conservation initiatives and restoration projects, enhancing understanding of coral resilience and ecosystem function in the face of frequent environmental disturbances.
