The objective of this review is to develop and organize a conceptual framework for the discussion of the mechanisms of reef growth turn-on and turn-off. An improved understanding of the causes, mechanisms and short-term symptoms of reef turn-on/turn-off is essential if we are to deal with the challenge of understanding and managing reef resources under conditions of both immediate anthropogenic impacts and long-term climatic changes. The discussion attempts to provide a basis for identifying the future research and conceptual synthesis that can best improve both our understanding of the causes of past transitions in reef development and our abiltiy to predict with confidence the future outcome of presently changing conditions.
