Published as: Growth of Acropora pulchra. III. Preliminary observations on the effects of transplantation and sediment on the growth and survival of transplants. | Technique: Transplantation | Disturbance addressed: not reported | Genera: Acropora | Method: The growth of both undisturbed colonies and transplants of Acropora pulchra was monitored in relation to environmental factors. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 50% | Post-restoration monitoring: 17 months | Authors' conclusion: Transplantation and sedimentation tended to retard growth. Growth and survival of the transplants may have been further inhibited by transplantation during the warmer times of the year, and by setting them in prone positions on tires. Effects of relocation at varying distances from source colonies appeared to be negligible. | Lessons reported: Time of transplantation and water quality of the receiving environment are important. | This record was compiled from a published source and has not been confirmed by the organisation that carried out the work. No contribution to the condition index is recorded: the source reports survival of transplanted material, which is not a measure of ecosystem condition.

Recorded result

No result recorded yet. A result is recorded when the project moves to Paused, Completed or Discontinued.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
