Managing coral reefs for resilience to climate change.

<p>A. The conventional view of resilience. Natural communities are highly resilient to climate change, i.e., the tipping point (black circle) leading to an alternative ecosystem state is far to the right and attained only at high levels of climate disturbance. As chronic anthropogenic disturbances gradually degrade the original ecosystem (open block arrows), the tipping point in response to climate change gradually shifts to the left (black arrows), making the ecosystem less resilient to climate disturbance. Management that seeks to control local anthropogenic disturbances should reverse degradation (red block arrows), shifting the tipping point back to the right, towards higher resilience (red arrows). B. A possible counter-intuitive effect of managing coral reefs for resilience to climate change. If the effect of chronic anthropogenic disturbances, which gradually degrade the original ecosystem (open block arrows), is to remove disturbance-sensitive individuals and/or species, the tipping point in response to climate change will gradually shift to the right (black arrows), making the ecosystem more resilient to climate disturbance. Management that seeks to control local anthropogenic disturbances and reverse degradation (red block arrows) will inadvertently shift the tipping point back to the left, towards lower resilience (red arrows) to climate disturbance.</p

The percent change in biomass of native fishes between 2008 and 2010 on New Providence, Bahamas coral reef sites.

<p>Points represent medians, bounded by parametric bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals. The dashed line indicates no change in biomass.</p

The abundance of Indo-Pacific lionfish (<i>Pterois volitans</i> and <i>P. miles</i>) on coral reefs off southwest New Providence, Bahamas.

<p>Abundance is the number of lionfish sighted during each roving survey, recorded in log₁₀ scale. Points represent log-scale means, bounded by 95% confidence intervals. The yearly number of surveys is given in parentheses.</p

Map of carbon storage areas in Canada’s oceans.

<p>These areas are delimited by depth boundaries that represent where each ‘habitat’ type may be found. Subsea permafrost is found at depths of 0–120 m, north of 60°N, and methane clathrates are found below 300 m.</p

BW-DCE weighing across six age groups for constituent goals or subgoals of the Canadian Ocean Health Index.

<p>Weights are represented as the height of each band, as estimated by discrete choice model coefficients (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0178044#sec002" target="_blank">Methods</a> for details), and the overall Index score is indicated at the top of each age group. Similar letters above the overall Index indicate that the indices differed in less <5% of simulated cases. Goal and subgoal codes are as in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0178044#pone.0178044.g003" target="_blank">Fig 3</a>.</p
