This research investigates the impact of nutrient pollution and overfishing on coral reefs, focusing on the role of dissolved organic matter and its transformation by microbes and sponges. It aims to understand how these processes affect coral reef ecosystems.
Anthropogenic disturbances, such as nutrient pollution and overfishing, threaten coral reefs by facilitating community shifts from reef-building corals to algae, increasing production of algal-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM). DOM is the largest food source on reefs, but cannot be consumed by most reef animals.
Instead, microbes and sponges transform DOM into particles that re-enter the food web.
These recycling pathways, termed the “microbial and sponge loops”, are understood as crucial…
