Abstract: An evaluation of analyses sponsored by the predecessor to the U.K. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) of the global impacts of climate change under various mitigation scenarios (including CO2 stabilization at 550 and 750 ppm) coupled with an examination of the relative costs associated with different schemes to either mitigate climate change or reduce vulnerability to various climate - sensitive hazards (namely, malaria, hunger, water shortage, coastal flooding, and losses of global forests and coastal wetlands) indicates that, at least for the next few decades, risks and / or threats associated with these hazards would be lowered much more effectively and economically by reducing current and future vulnerability to those hazards rather than through stabilization.
However, we demonstrated that there is specialisation of the coral host to particular reef environments, with each strain of coral host associating only with particular types of symbiotic algae... the results also highlight the lack of connectivity between different habitats on a single reef, such as shallow and deep water, which has important implications under future climate change scenarios, as coral reefs will be largely dependent on neighbouring areas for their recovery.
