Abstract:Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by mass bleaching events due to global ocean warming. Novel management strategies are urgently needed to support coral survival until global efforts can mitigate ocean warming. Given the strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties of molecular hydrogen, our study explores its potential to alleviate the negative effects of heat stress on corals. We investigated the ecophysiological responses of two common hard corals (Acroporaspp. andPocillopora ve… Show more
