    • CRCP Changes in growth, vitality, and habitat value of Acropora cervicornis in the US Caribbean

    Metadata Updated: April 1, 2024

    The project was planned to document the habitat value of Acropora cervicornis, staghorn coral, colonies or stands/thickets as they changed in configuration through growth and disturbance. Research addressed environmental condition and productivity of A. cervicornis by investigating variations over time in health, vitality, and growth and use as habitat for reef fishes, including disturbances by human or natural events.
