koraller på engelsk

Eksempler på koraller

• Koraller kan leve i tusinder af år.
• Corals can live for thousands of years.

• Koraldød dræber ikke straks koraller. De har potentiale til at genoprette sig, hvis temperaturerne falder tilbage under stressniveauer og forbliver der i en lang periode - uden nye chok.
• Coral bleaching does not immediately kill corals. They have the potential to recover if temperatures drop back below stressful levels and remain there for a long period of time—with no new shocks.

• Desværre viser næsten alle klimamodeller, at meningsfuld genopretning af koraller langs Great Barrier Reef kan være meget vanskelig, hvis det overhovedet er muligt.
• Sadly, almost all climate models show that meaningful recovery of corals along the Great Barrier Reef may be very difficult, if it is even possible at all.

• Koralblegning opstår, når koraller bliver varme-stressede nok til at udskille deres primære fødekilde, de mikroalger, der lever i deres celler. Dette får korallen til at se så hvid ud, som om de var blevet blødt op i blegemiddel.
• Coral bleaching occurs when corals become heat-stressed enough to expel their primary source of food, the microalgae that live inside their cells. This leaves the coral looking as white as if they had been soaking in bleach.
