澳大利亚的研究发现珊瑚需要非常接近繁殖,引起对气候变化影响的关切。 Australian study finds corals need to be very close to reproduce, raising concerns over climate change impacts.

澳大利亚研究人员发现,珊瑚必须相距10米以内,最好距离较近,才能成功地繁殖。 Australian researchers found that corals must be within 10 meters of each other, with closer distances preferred, to reproduce successfully. 当珊瑚在半米以内时,肥化率为30%,但10米降至10%以下,20米降至近零。 Fertilization rates were 30% when corals were within half a meter but dropped to less than 10% at 10 meters and nearly zero at 20 meters. 诸如珊瑚漂白等气候变化影响正在减少珊瑚密度,引起人们对珊瑚繁殖能力的担忧。 Climate change impacts, such as coral bleaching, are reducing coral density, raising concerns about their ability to reproduce. 研究建议,今后可能需要采取干预措施,提高珊瑚密度,以便成功繁殖。 The study suggests future interventions may be needed to increase coral density for successful reproduction.
