AbstractWith the increased frequency of marine heatwaves and related coral mass mortality events, it is imperative that we improve our understanding of coral reef recovery processes including how benthic community compositions can change over time. Coral reef benthic communities are influenced by many abiotic factors, but on most reefs local anthropogenic disturbances overshadow these factors thus obscuring their influence.
