Crustose coralline algae (CCA) play a central role in coral reef framework consolidation and vertical accretion, yet their contribution to reef-scale calcification remains poorly quantified, particularly on reefs dominated by algal turfs. We examined how CCA calcification rates differed across ten reef sites with varying benthic composition around Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Using tiles from calcification acc...

Purpose This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of Classical Chinese Dance as a sports intervention for enhancing the physical capabilities of older adults. Methods Twenty-four participants were divided into experimental group ( N = 12, age 69.0 ± 1.5 years, body mass index [BMI] 22.2 ± 0.6 kg/m 2 ) and control group ( N = 12, age 69.1 ± 1.8 years, BMI 23.5 ± 0.8 kg/m 2 ).
