Researchers Shows Corals Struggle to Grow Under Multiple Stressors
Description: A new study has found that multiple stressors might be too much for corals. The findings have important implications for the resilience of coral reefs to climate change. Many previous studies have assessed the effects of multiple stressors, but this study is novel because it is the first to precondition corals to high CO2 before exposing them to a thermal bleaching event.
