珊瑚礁的地质分布和发展历史在很大程度上受到物理因素的控制，如板块构造、海平面变化、波浪能、盐度、光照、温度、营养物质、沉积物和早期地形。虽然地质和生物模式在过去12 000年中基本上是一致的，但千年以下的变化间隔提醒我们，长期模式只是部分情况。展望未来，海水温度、风暴强度、文石饱和状态和pH值的变化可能会使碳酸盐的生产、破坏和出口之间的平衡发生重大变化。虽然海平面上升本身可能不会显着改变珊瑚礁群落或过顶低礁岛，即使是小的增加水深将有不成比例的影响波能量通过礁顶。此外，在下一个世纪，风暴增加的影响将与珊瑚覆盖率下降相媲美，成为控制珊瑚礁碳酸盐收支的主要因素。理解将要发生的事情需要一个视角，这是任何单一学科都不可能做到的。
The geological distribution and developmental history of coral reefs have been largely controlled by physical factors such as plate tectonics, sea-level changes, wave energy, salinity, light, temperature, nutrients, sediment, and antecedent topography. Although the geological and biological patterns have generally been consistent over the past 12,000 years, sub-millennial intervals of variation remind us that long-term patterns provide only part of the picture. Looking forward, changes in seawater temperature, storm intensity, aragonite saturation state and pH may bring a major shift in the balance between carbonate production, destruction and export. While rising sea level alone will probably not significantly change reef communities or over-top low reef islands, even small increases of water depth will have disproportionate effects on the wave energy passing over the reef crest. Moreover, the impacts of increasing storminess will rival declining coral cover as a major control over the carbonate budget of coral reefs in the coming century. Understanding what is to come will require a perspective that is impossible from any single discipline.
