商品描述

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of coral reefs--among Earth's most diverse yet vulnerable ecosystems--in the context of global climate change and local human pressures. Structured as an interconnected narrative, the volume delves into critical topics such as reef biodiversity, trophic ecology, environmental histories revealed by coral skeletons, and coral nutrition strategies. Central themes include the physiological and ecological responses of corals to thermal stress and ocean acidification, the adaptive mechanisms underpinning coral bleaching, and innovative restoration techniques aimed at reef recovery.

Advanced methodologies such as high-resolution remote sensing, environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring, and geochemical analyses enrich our understanding of these dynamic ecosystems. Importantly, the book bridges natural sciences with human dimensions, exploring historical human-reef interactions and community-based conservation practices. This interdisciplinary approach highlights both scientific innovation and traditional ecological knowledge as vital components for effective reef management.

Ultimately, the chapters collectively offer actionable insights and strategic frameworks for policymakers, scientists, and communities committed to safeguarding coral reefs. As these ecosystems face unprecedented threats, this book underscores not only their vulnerability but also their remarkable capacity for resilience and adaptation, providing a hopeful vision for coral reef conservation in our rapidly changing world. Additionally, the book opens discussion on emerging challenges and identifies critical future research directions, encouraging continued innovation and collaboration within the scientific community.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書全面探討珊瑚礁——地球上生物多樣性最豐富、卻也最脆弱的生態系之一——在全球氣候變遷與地方性人類壓力下所面臨的處境。本書以相互連結的敘事架構編排,深入探討珊瑚礁生物多樣性、營養階層生態學、珊瑚骨骼所揭示的環境歷史,以及珊瑚的營養策略等關鍵主題。核心內容包括珊瑚對熱壓力與海洋酸化的生理及生態反應、支撐珊瑚白化的適應機制,以及旨在促進珊瑚礁復原的創新修復技術。

高解析度遙測、環境 DNA(environmental DNA,eDNA)監測及地球化學分析等先進方法,深化了我們對這些動態生態系的理解。更重要的是,本書將自然科學與人類面向相互連結,探討人類與珊瑚礁互動的歷史,以及以社區為基礎的保育實務。這種跨學科方法突顯了科學創新與傳統生態知識,兩者都是有效管理珊瑚礁不可或缺的要素。

總體而言,各章內容共同為致力於守護珊瑚礁的政策制定者、科學家與社區提供可付諸行動的洞見與策略架構。面對前所未有的威脅,這些生態系不僅展現其脆弱性,也彰顯出令人驚豔的韌性與適應能力。本書因此為快速變動世界中的珊瑚礁保育描繪出充滿希望的願景。此外,本書也針對新興挑戰展開討論,指出未來研究的關鍵方向,鼓勵科學界持續創新與合作。

作者簡介

Serge Planes is a CNRS Senior Research Director (DRCE1) and Associate Professor at the EPHE. A global authority in marine population genetics and marine ecology of coral reef, he has authored over 500 publications, accumulating more than 25,000 citations. His pioneering work revealed that connectivity in coral reef ecosystems is far more limited than previously thought, shifting international conservation strategies. He was the first to apply parentage analysis in marine settings, enabling reconstruction of pedigrees over multiple generations in wild populations--advancing understanding of self-recruitment and local adaptation, together investigating variability in reproductive success. He directed the CRIOBE research center and lead the French center for excellence on coral reef (LabEx CORAIL), uniting French coral reef researchers. As Scientific Director of the Tara Pacific expedition, he coordinated a vast "omics" investigation of reef biodiversity and resilience. Recognized with France's National Order of Merit (2019) and Legion of Honor (2022), Planes continues to shape marine conservation policy and innovation across the coral reefs.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Serge Planes 是法國國家科學研究中心(CNRS)的資深研究主任(DRCE1),也是高等研究實踐學院(EPHE)的副教授。他是全球公認的海洋族群遺傳學與珊瑚礁海洋生態學權威,已發表超過 500 篇論文,累積超過 25,000 次引用。他的開創性研究揭示,珊瑚礁生態系統中的連通性遠比過去所認為的有限,進而促使國際保育策略發生轉變。

他率先將親子鑑定分析(parentage analysis)應用於海洋環境,使研究人員能夠在野生族群中重建跨越多個世代的系譜,推進對自我補充(self-recruitment)與局部適應(local adaptation)的理解,並共同探討繁殖成功率的變異。他曾主持 CRIOBE 研究中心,並領導法國珊瑚礁卓越研究中心(LabEx CORAIL),整合法國各地的珊瑚礁研究人員。

在擔任 Tara Pacific 遠征計畫科學主任期間,他協調了一項大規模的「組學」(omics)研究,探討珊瑚礁生物多樣性與韌性。他曾獲頒法國國家功績勳章(2019 年)與榮譽軍團勳章(2022 年)。如今,Planes 仍持續形塑珊瑚礁海洋保育政策,並推動相關領域的創新。
