This book provides a comprehensive exploration of coral reefs—among Earth's most diverse yet vulnerable ecosystems—in the context of global climate change and local human pressures. Structured as an interconnected narrative, the volume delves into critical topics such as reef biodiversity, trophic ecology, environmental histories revealed by coral skeletons, and coral nutrition strategies. Central themes include the physiological and ecological responses of corals to thermal stress and ocean acidification, the adaptive mechanisms underpinning coral bleaching, and innovative restoration techniques aimed at reef recovery.
