Sedimentation in the coastal reefs of Abrolhos over the last decades
(2013)
Coral reefs of the coastal area of Abrolhos are located in an environment with a high influx of terrigenous sediments that are carried out to the sea, either as a result of natural processes (river output, coastal erosion, ...
Possible contamination of the Abrolhos reefs by Fundao dam tailings, Brazil – New constraints based on satellite data
(2020-09-01)
The Fundão dam, located in Mariana city, Minas Gerais State, southeastern Brazil, collapsed in November 2015, causing the discharge of over 50 million m3 of iron ore tailings in the Doce river basin. The mud generated by ...
Newly discovered reefs in the southern Abrolhos Bank, Brazil: Anthropogenic impacts and urgent conservation needs
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-01-15)
The Abrolhos Bank is an area of high ecological, socio-economic importance and harbour the richest and most extensive coral reefs in the South Atlantic. Here we report the discovery of shallow (12-25 m depth) reef complex ...
Potential impacts of polar fronts on sedimentation processes at Abrolhos coral reef (South-West Atlantic Ocean/Brazil)
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
Several reefs of the world have undergone changes in community due to sedimentation processes. It has been suggested that Abrolhos reefs (Brazil/South-West Atlantic) are subjected to a steady coastal influence, although ...
Meroplankton spatial structure and variability on Abrolhos Bank and adjacent areas, with emphasis on brachyuran larvae
(Amsterdam, 2013-11-01)
The spatial distribution of meroplanktonic stages of benthic invertebrates was investigated on the Abrolhos Bank and adjacent shelf and oceanic areas during winter. Meroplanktonic larvae occurred at all stations, with ...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of the abundance of crustose calcareous algae on the southernmost coral reefs of the western Atlantic (Abrolhos Bank, Brazil)
(Korean Soc Phycology, 2018)
Crustose calcareous algae (CCA) constitute one of the main reef builders on the Abrolhos Bank, Brazil. Once CCA taxonomy is locally understood, differences in growth-forms may be useful for the delimitation of taxa using ...
