First Time

Purpose Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult owing to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategies are proposed to artificially cool the planet. Meanwhile, as the harbor around one-third of all described marine species, coral reefs are the most sensitive ecosystem on the planet to climate change. However, until now, there is no quantitative assessment on the impacts of geoengineering on coral reefs. This study aims to model the impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering on coral reefs. Design/methodology/approach The HadGEM2-ES climate model is used to model and evaluate the impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering on coral reefs. Findings This study shows that (1) stratospheric aerosol geoengineering could significantly mitigate future coral bleaching throughout the Caribbean Sea; (2) Changes in downward solar irradiation, sea level rise and sea surface temperature caused by geoengineering implementation should have very little impacts on coral reefs; (3) Although geoengineering would prolong the return period of future hurricanes, this may still be too short to ensure coral recruitment and survival after hurricane damage. Originality/value This is the first time internationally to quantitatively assess the impacts of geoengineering on coral reefs.

Florida has been affected by eight hurricanes since 2000. This new 3-page publication discusses the types of hurricane damage that occur in blueberry production operations, the impacts of these damages, and some recommendations on best management practices in the aftermath of a storm.

Hurricane Hugo caused much damage to the old-growth forests of the Congaree Swamp National Monument, but most of the damage to trees >20 cm dbh consisted of crown breakage and defoliation. Serious damage (>25% of crown lost, snapped trunk, or uprooted) was more common in mixed bottomland forest (49% of trees seriously damaged) than in adjacent sloughs dominated by Taxodiumdistichum (L.) L.C. Rich, and Nyssaaquatica L. (19% of trees seriously damaged). Of the trees >20 cm dbh, about 12% were uprooted in the bottomland forest, whereas only 2% were uprooted in sloughs. The storm reduced diversity in sloughs because most trees of species characteristic of better drained sites, and especially those rooted on nurse logs and other unstable elevated microsites, were uprooted. Dynamics of the entire forest were greatly influenced by the capacity of most tree species to recover vegetatively after suffering even severe crown and stem damage. Trees with resprouted crowns, however, were particularly likely to be broken, presumably owing to the presence of stem rots and architecturally unsound branching patterns.
