Human Impact on Atolls Leads to Coral Loss and Community Homogenisation: A Modeling Study

We explore impacts on pristine atolls subjected to anthropogenic near-field (human habitation) and far-field (climate and environmental change) pressure. Using literature data of human impacts on reefs, we parameterize forecast models to evaluate trajectories in coral cover under impact scenarios th...
