“…Studies of succession in coral communities following disturbance indicate that reshuffling of relative species abundances would continue without further increase in coral cover, given a more extensive recovery period (Tanner et al 1994;Hughes and Connell 1999). Species turnover and architectural development in coral communities may change over longer disturbance intervals.…”

“…However, cover continued to increase slowly, reaching only 35-40% after 12 yr. In the case of reef crests on Heron Island, a modeling study estimated that it would take 15-20 yr to reach an equilibrium species composition (Tanner et al 1994). The tempo of successional changes is likely to be slower on deeper reefs where rates of disturbance, recruitment, and growth tend to be slower.…”

“…However, there is little evidence to support an equilibrium view of coral reefs and much to refute it (e.g., Connell 1978;Pearson 1981;Colgan 1987;Tanner et al 1994). Rates of mortality of reef-dwelling organisms are often very high, even in the absence of any major perturbations (e.g., Connell 1973;Stimson 1985;Bythell et al 1993).…”

“…Note that species replacement can happen directly through competitive displacement, or indirectly if the first plant dies and a second plant colonizes the same space (Tanner et al 1994). Recurrence times are also informative about our system.…”
