Published as: Impacts of Fragment Genotype, Habitat, and Size on Outplanted Elkhorn Coral Success under Thermal Stress. | Technique: Coral Gardening - Transplantation Phase | Genera: Acropora | Method: Expt 2: 4 genotypes of A. palmata outplanted on 2 distinct habitat types, Fore reef (wave exposed) and patch reef (mid-channel) | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 56.25% | Post-restoration monitoring: 18 months | Authors' conclusion: Significant differences in both survival and growth between genotypes, while bleaching differed between genotypes, habitat and sites. No evidence to suggest that locally sourced genotypes (ie with local adaptations) would fare better than foreign genotypes. | 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.
