Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal Artificial Restoration Effects on Seasonal Adaptation in Acropora hyacinthus (PRJCA046673)
In the Marine coral reef ecosystem, the growth of coral reefs in different sea areas shows a seasonal pattern. Studying the seasonal variations of coral symbiotic holobionts helps to understand their environmental adaptation strategies and reveal their underlying mechanisms. This project takes the natural reef area and artificial transplantation area in the northern part of Wuzhizhou Island (Sanya City, China) as the research site, and selects the local dominant species, Acropora hyacinthus, as the research object. This research will deepen the understanding of coral seasonal adaptability under global climate change and provide theoretical support for coral transplantation and restoration work.
