中文摘要 | In the future, coastal coral reefs in Southeast Asia will be exposed to both climate change and more severe and frequent floods associated with heavy rainfall. Floodwaters have caused severe coral mortality in many near-shore coral reefs throughout the world. However, previous studies have largely ignored the effects of floodwaters on macroalgae and calcified algae and the indirect effects on benthic community interactions following flood events. In October 2010, heavy rainfall of more than 1600 mm in 9 days caused the largest flood on record in eastern Hainan Island. Long-term video transects indicate that the floodwater was responsible for severe benthic community mortality in Wenchang, northeast Hainan Island. Mean live coral cover decreased from 15.2% to 9.8% and showed strongest degradation at stations proximal to areas with a high density of aquaculture ponds (i.e. stations 3S-4S decreasing from 15.0% to 0.8%). Branching corals (Acropora and Pocillopora damicornis) were the most sensitive, while massive corals (e.g. Porites, Galaxea, Platygyra and Favia) were most tolerant of floodwaters. Calcified algae were almost completely removed at all stations; coverage decreased from 28.1% to 1.7%, while macroalgae were not influenced by floodwaters. Thus, remnant coral communities that survived the flooding in Wenchang are likely to be subject to increased competition with macroalgae and benefit less from calcified algae promoting juvenile coral recruitment. |
