Limited Cross-Shelf Variation in the Growth of Three Branching Corals on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

Pronounced differences exist in the biodiversity and structure of coral reef assemblages with increasing distance from shore, which may be expected given marked cross-shelf gradients in environmental conditions.
