Abstract

Both natural and human-induced stressors cause reef erosion, resulting in reef rubble formation. When consolidated, the rubble can facilitate reef recovery, sparking interest in artificial rubble stabilization as a method for reef restoration. However, our understanding of the natural processes governing coral reef regeneration within rubble beds is limited. This study examines the regeneration processes within ancient rubble frameworks in a Late Triassic carbonate platform. Results show that Late Triassic rubble environments exhibit successional trajectories similar to contemporary rubble environments. Key organisms such as sponges, calcareous red algae, bryozoans, microbes and scleractinian corals, which are instrumental in the consolidation of modern reef rubble, appear to have played comparable roles during the Late Triassic. The similarities between Late Triassic and modern reef rubble consolidation highlight enduring ecological mechanisms important for reef regeneration. This study deepens our understanding of reef dynamics and offers valuable insights for improving current reef restoration strategies, grounded in time-tested natural processes.

作为现代模板的古框架:探索古礁系统中礁石碎石的固结。
自然和人为的压力因素都会造成礁石侵蚀,从而形成礁石碎石。碎石加固后可以促进珊瑚礁恢复,这引起了人们对人工碎石稳定作为珊瑚礁恢复方法的兴趣。然而,我们对碎石床中控制珊瑚礁再生的自然过程的理解是有限的。本研究考察了晚三叠世碳酸盐岩台地古碎石框架内的再生过程。结果表明,晚三叠世的砾石环境具有与现代砾石环境相似的演替轨迹。海绵、钙质红藻、苔藓虫、微生物和硬核珊瑚等关键生物在现代珊瑚礁碎石的巩固中发挥了重要作用,在晚三叠世似乎也发挥了类似的作用。晚三叠世和现代礁石碎石固结的相似性突出了对礁石再生重要的持久生态机制。这项研究加深了我们对珊瑚礁动态的理解,并为改进当前的珊瑚礁恢复策略提供了有价值的见解,这些策略基于经过时间考验的自然过程。

期刊介绍: Proceedings B is the Royal Society’s flagship biological research journal, accepting original articles and reviews of outstanding scientific importance and broad general interest. The main criteria for acceptance are that a study is novel, and has general significance to biologists. Articles published cover a wide range of areas within the biological sciences, many have relevance to organisms and the environments in which they live. The scope includes, but is not limited to, ecology, evolution, behavior, health and disease epidemiology, neuroscience and cognition, behavioral genetics, development, biomechanics, paleontology, comparative biology, molecular ecology and evolution, and global change biology.
