Ecosystem-Scale Effects of Nutrients and Fishing on Coral Reefs
Figure 4
The effect of herbivores and chlorophyll-a on benthic functional groups. (a) Coral was not significantly affected by herbivores, chlorophyll-a, or their interaction, (b) CCA and fitted values (black line) as a function of herbivore biomass () (pseudo , ), (c) turf was not significantly affected by herbivores, chlorophyll-a, or their interaction, and (d) macroalgae and fitted values (rainbow mesh) predicted by herbivores (), nutrients (), and an interactive term () (, ). See Tables S6 and S7 in Supporting Information for model selection and detailed statistics.
