Article Synopsis
- Climate change may worsen sediment and salinity stresses in inshore turbid habitats, impacting coral fertilization and development.
- In experiments, the fertilization rate of Acropora tumida dropped by 50% under combined sediment and salinity stress, while Platygyra carnosa showed no significant impact.
- Abnormal embryonic development increased significantly for both species under stress, and A. tumida faced 50% larval mortality at a lower sediment concentration, raising concerns about coral survival in turbid environments.
