科学家开发水下灯光系统,增进夏威夷珊瑚的健康和复原力。 Scientists develop underwater light system that boosts coral health and resilience in Hawaii.

俄亥俄州立大学的科学家创建了UZELA,这是一个水下光系统,能提高珊瑚礁附近浮游动物的密度,提高珊瑚的喂养和复原力。 Scientists at Ohio State University have created the UZELA, an underwater light system that boosts zooplankton density near coral reefs, enhancing coral feeding and resilience. 六个月多的测试表明,夏威夷珊瑚物种的喂养率和对热应激和海洋酸化的抗药性都有提高。 Tests over six months showed improved feeding rates and resistance to heat stress and ocean acidification in Hawaiian coral species. UZELA虽然不是长期的气候解决办法,但可以帮助珊瑚礁的恢复工作,预计一至三年内将有一个更先进的版本。 While not a long-term climate solution, UZELA could aid coral restoration efforts, with a more advanced version expected in one to three years.
