Habitat suitability modeling growth and cover trends of staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) outplants in the lower Florida Keys

Glenna Dyson, Erich Bartels, Easton R. White, Ian R. Combs, Kristen Mello-Rafter, Thomas C. Lippmann, Jennifer A. Dijkstra

This study develops habitat suitability models to predict optimal locations for staghorn coral outplants in the Florida Keys, finding that deeper, less turbulent waters and proximity to reef edges correlate with higher coral cover and growth.
