NESP MB Project SS3 (Synthesis Study) - National trends in coral species following heatwaves

本记录概述了NESP海洋生物多样性中心综合研究-“热浪后珊瑚物种的国家趋势”的范围和研究成果。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> 该项目请珊瑚分类专家对澳大利亚北方在重大干扰前后拍摄的现有珊瑚礁生命调查照片样方进行注释，以便：<br /> ·澳大利亚珊瑚对2016年和2017年海洋热浪和大规模漂白事件（以及在此期间发生的气旋）的空间和物种水平响应的量化。<br /> ·确定受气候变暖和飓风威胁最大的物种，以及可能对恢复工作作出最佳反应的物种。<br /> ·为下一份国家环境状况报告提供具体针对珊瑚的分析。<br /> <br /> 计划产出<br /> ·2016年大规模漂白事件前后，澳大利亚北方周围调查的珊瑚覆盖率数据集，达到最高分类分辨率。

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Synthesis Study - "National trends in coral species following heatwaves". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> This project engaged coral taxonomic experts to annotate existing Reef Life Survey (RLS) photoquadrats taken across northern Australia before and after major disturbances, to allow: <br /> • Quantification of the spatial and species-level responses of Australian corals to the 2016 and 2017 marine heatwave and mass bleaching events (and cyclones that occurred during this period).<br /> • Identification of the species most threatened by warming and cyclones, and species likely to respond best to restoration efforts.<br /> • Contribution to a coral-specific analysis to the next national State of the Environment report.<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • Dataset on % cover of corals to highest taxonomic resolution possible from surveys around northern Australia before and after the 2016 mass bleaching event.
