Title:Evaluating the precariousness of coral recovery when coral and macroalgae are alternative basins of attraction
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

When coral and macroalgae are alternative attractors, the trajectory of the benthic community following a major disturbance is shaped in part by whether herbivores keep macroalgae suppressed, leaving reef surfaces in a state suitable for coral colonization. Because macroalgae tend to colonize much faster than coral, an important issue is how close ambient herbivory is to the level where control of macroalgae is lost, that is, the precariousness of the coral-invasible state relative to the switch-point to macroalgae. In Moorea, French Polynesia, reefs dominated by the macroalga Turbinaria ornata remained so for multiple population turnovers, whereas reefs where Turbinaria was removed by a simulated pulse disturbance remained free of macroalgae throughout the 5-yr study. A field experiment revealed that macroalgae was unable to proliferate on disturbed reefs until ambient herbivory was reduced by more than 50%. Low precariousness of the coral-invasible state facilitated a gradual transition to a coral community because it allowed sufficient time for coral to repopulate. Accumulation of coral on disturbed reefs was 3.5 times greater than on undisturbed, Turbinaria-dominated reefs. Long-term persistence of the coral-invasible state was facilitated by high abundances of grazing herbivores that prevent the establishment of macroalgae, whereas persistence of the Turbinaria-dominated state reflected the scarcity of browsing herbivores that consume mature macroalgae. By revealing processes that foster bistability of coral and macroalgae states, our work helps explain the rich dynamical behavior exhibited by coral reef communities in Moorea and elsewhere.

This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Grant No. OCE 16-37396 (and earlier awards) as well as a generous gift from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Research was completed under permits issued by the French Polynesian Government (Délégation à la Recherche) and the Haut-commissariat de la République en Polynésie Francaise (DTRT) (Protocole d'Accueil 2005-2022). This work represents a contribution of the Moorea Coral Reef (MCR) LTER Site.

Description:

All field work was conducted at a mid-lagoon location on the north shore of Moorea (S 17.54° W 149.83°), French Polynesia (Fig. S1a), that we have used for previous resilience field experiments (Schmitt et al. 2019). The site consists of several hundred coral bommies (skeletons of dead or partially dead massive Porites corals) ~ 1 to 3 m2 in surface area. These small patch reefs are spaced ~ 0.5–5 m apart on sand at ~ 2 m depth within a ~ 1400 m2 area of bottom (Fig. S1b). Dead portions of Porites skeletons are used as substrate by other scleractinian corals, particularly branching corals in the genera Pocillopora and Acropora, encrusting Montipora spp., and other mounding and massive corals in the genus Porites. Macroalgae also can be major space holders on the bommies. The dominant species, Turbinaria ornata (hereafter Turbinaria) is a brown, fucoid alga whose adult stage (Fig. S1c) is morphologically and chemically defended from herbivores, and who produce short-dispersing germlings year round (Stewart 2008). It is relatively short-lived; based on the measured longevity of Turbinaria plants at this site and elsewhere on Moorea, there are at least two complete population turnovers each year (Davis 2018; Schmitt et al. 2019). Turbinaria in Moorea can provide an associational refuge for other taxa of macroalgae that are more vulnerable to herbivory (Bittick et al. 2010; Davis 2018). Although far less common, the two most frequently observed macroalgae species typically found with Turbinaria at the study site were a second fucoid, Sargassum pacificum, and the red macroalga Amansia rhodantha. Surfaces of the bommies that were not otherwise occupied by living coral or macroalgae primarily were covered by closely cropped turf algae, sometimes along with crustose coralline algae (CCA), that can be colonized by coral or overgrown by macroalgae (Birrell et al. 2005; O'Brien and Scheibling 2018).
