This study examined coral communities at three intertidal habitats, i.e., reef flats, sloping seawalls, and vertical seawalls, in Singapore, looking at species diversity, abundances, growth forms, and colony sizes. A total of 35 coral species were recorded, of which the majority (51%) were typically of massive growth form. Reef flats had the highest number of species (30), followed by sloping seawalls (21). Species on vertical seawalls (11) were a subset of the two other habitats. Colonies were dominantly massive (72%) and sparsely distributed with average colony densities between 0.05 and 0.4 colonies/m2. Species <i>Porites lobata-lutea</i> complex was widespread and most abundant, comprising 21–30% of colonies in each habitat. Six other species common across all habitats were <i>Dipsastraea speciose</i>, <i>Favites abdita</i>, <i>Goniastrea retiformis</i>, <i>Platygyra verweyi</i>, <i>Platygyra pini</i>, and <i>Platygyra sinensis</i>. Of these, only colony sizes of <i>G. retiformis</i> (mean ± SE, reef flats 30 ± 4 cm, sloping seawalls 9.5 ± 1.7 cm, vertical seawalls 11.7 ± 1.4 cm) and <i>Porites lobata-lutea</i> complex (41.8 ± 8.3 cm, 26.8 ± 6.3 cm, 12.3 ± 1.6 cm) showed significant differences (p < 0.05) amongst habitats. Relative abundances on the reef flats correlated moderately with those on the sloping seawalls (Pearson’s <i>ρ</i> = 0.6) and vertical seawalls (Pearson’s <i>ρ</i> = 0.7), respectively. Multivariate analyses showed that habitat origin (natural vs man-made) and surface rugosity (heterogeneous vs. homogeneous) were factors that significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.05) differentiated intertidal coral communities. Nevertheless, sloping seawall communities bore higher resemblance to those on natural reef flats than to man-made vertical seawalls in species and growth form richness and also coral densities. These findings highlight interesting opportunities for incorporating coral-friendly designs into existing man-made sloping coastal structures to encourage the growth of coral communities in the intertidal zone.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Composition and structure of tropical intertidal hard coral communities on natural and man-made habitats","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Substratum comparisons, Reef flat, Sloping and vertical seawalls, Singapore, Porites, Massive growth forms ","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-07-13","DateCreate":"2021-07-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000625707900001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/s00338-021-02059-0"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":340001,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"685-700","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"40","Issue":"3","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":45580,"SerRR":"Coral Reefs.
