Global climate change is leading to the rise of ocean temperatures and is triggering mass coral bleaching events on reefs around the world. The expulsion of the symbiotic dinoflagellate algae from the coral host is believed to occur as a result of damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of these symbionts, although the specific site of initial impact has not been identified. This book provides evidence of impacts to a number of sites within the light reactions of photosynthesis and evaluates the efficiency of photoprotective heat dissipating pathways. Specifically, the oxygen evolving complex, ...
Global climate change is leading to the rise of
ocean temperatures and is triggering mass coral
bleaching events on reefs around the world. The
expulsion of the symbiotic dinoflagellate algae from
the coral host is believed to occur as a result of
damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of these
symbionts, although the specific site of initial
impact has not been identified. This book provides
evidence of impacts to a number of sites within the
light reactions of photosynthesis and evaluates the
efficiency of photoprotective heat dissipating
pathways. Specifically, the oxygen evolving complex,
the Photosystem II reaction centre and the thylakoid
membrane, are examined to evaluate thermal
sensitivity. The capacity for symbionts to survive
in the water column once expelled from the host is
also explored. This book should be useful to
students and professionals working on climate change
impacts to coral reefs, as well as those interested
in developing skills on coral health assessment.
