One of the most dire consequences of global climate change for
coral reefs is the increased frequency and severity of mass coral
bleaching events. This volume provides information on the causes
and consequences of coral bleaching for coral reef ecosystems, from
the level of individual colonies to ecosystems and at different
spatial scales, as well as a detailed analysis of how it can be
detected and quantified. Future scenarios based on modelling
efforts and the potential mechanisms of acclimatisation and
adaptation are reviewed. The much more severe coral bleaching
events experienced on Caribbean coral reefs (compared with those of
the Indo-Pacific) are discussed, as are the differences in
bleaching susceptibility and recovery that have been observed on
smaller geographic scales.
