R_5_11 — Coral Biology: Symbiosis, Bleaching, and Reef Building

Coral reefs — often called the "rainforests of the sea" — are among Earth's most biodiverse and productive ecosystems, occupying less than 0.1% of the ocean floor yet supporting approximately 25% of all marine species. T

ZF_2_02 — Coral Reef Systems: Ecology, Bleaching, and Paleoclimatology

This document focuses on the oceanographic dimensions of coral reef systems — reef geomorphology, their role as paleoclimate archives, and hydrodynamic interactions — complementing ZB_3_02 which covers the biological and

ZB_3_02 — Coral Reef Ecology: Symbiosis, Bleaching, and Biodiversity Hotspots

Coral reefs, built by tiny colonial cnidarians over millennia, harbor approximately 25% of all marine species while covering less than 0.1% of the ocean floor — earning the title "rainforests of the sea." The ecological
