[Coral-List] Inviting abstracts for ICRS Session 17: CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS: INSTABILITIES, INVASIONS, TRANSITIONS AND REORGANISATION

[Benjamin Neal]

Inviting abstracts for ICRS Session 17: CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS:
INSTABILITIES, INVASIONS, TRANSITIONS AND REORGANISATION


This session will focus on reef disturbance, associated community shifts,
and measurement techniques for and examples of such post-disturbance
situations. We invite presentations examining (but not limited to):



   - Environmental and social processes affecting post-disturbance recovery
   - Both historical and current examples of reef dynamics
   - Changes in ecosystem services with altered community composition
   - Relative impacts from natural variation versus human-induced pressures
   - How reefs respond to loss of key functional groups (e.g. sea
   cucumbers, urchins, or structure-forming corals themselves
   - Policy lessons taken from previous examples of responses to outbreaks,
   invasions, or other disturbance
   - Developments in reef monitoring technologies to track disturbance
   impacts and reef recovery
