Article Synopsis
- The study examines how various environmental factors affect coral health in Singapore's coastal waters, highlighting that water quality conditions significantly impact coral metrics like maximum quantum yield and growth rates.
- Sediment and light levels were particularly influential for certain coral species, while temperature had a more pronounced effect on branching corals.
- The findings suggest that poor water quality can enhance chlorophyll a levels and coral performance temporarily but leads to reduced growth rates, indicating the need for established water quality thresholds to protect these at-risk coral communities from climate change.
