From: Effects of sediment exposure on corals: a systematic review of experimental studies
Detection of adverse effects for coral gametes and larvae in response to sediment exposure (0 = no, 1 = yes), plotted as a function of concentration of either suspended sediment (top 3 panels) or deposited sediment (bottom panel). The red, rectangular area is bounded by the concentration LOAEL, thereby representing the exposure concentration under which adverse effects have been observed in studies from our review. Given the short period of time that corals are in these life-history stages, exposure duration was not considered in the determination of NOAEL/LOAELs, nor in meta-analyses
