Studying coral reef patterns in UAE waters using panel data analysis and multinomial logit and probit models by Ben Romdhane, Haifa

“…Main findings, based on the studied data, showed that nutrient enrichment, a proxy for anthropogenic pressure, and salinity are the most influential factors to induce coral damage in UAE waters. Furthermore, results demonstrated that the probability of severe damage increases with decreasing water oxygenation and with increasing temperature, light, salinity, acidity and nutrient levels. …”
