• Different resiliencies in coral communities over ecological and geological time scales in American Samoa

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 673:55-68 (2021)

  In 1917, Alfred Mayor surveyed a 270 m transect on a reef flat on American Samoa. Eleven surveys were conducted on the transect from 1917 to 2019. The coral community on the reef crest was resilient…
