This paper reviews and evaluates the current state of knowledge on the direct effects of terrestrial runoff on (1) the growth and survival of hard coral colonies, (2) coral reproduction and recruitment, and (3) organisms that interact with coral populations (coralline algae, bioeroders, macroalgae and heterotrophic filter feeders as space competitors, pathogens, and coral predators). The responses of each of these groups are evaluated separately against the four main water quality parameters: (1) increased dissolved inorganic nutrients, (2) enrichment with particulate organic matter, (3) light reduction from turbidity and (4) increased sedimentation. This separation facilitates disentangling and understanding the mechanisms leading to changes in the field, where many contaminants and many responses co-occur. The review also summarises geographic and biological factors that determine local and regional levels of resistance and resilience to degradation. It provides a conceptual aid to assess the kind of change(s) likely to occur in response to changing coastal water quality.
（1）硬珊瑚群落的生长和存活；（2）珊瑚的繁殖与补充；（3）与珊瑚种群相互作用的生物（珊瑚藻、生物侵蚀者、大型海藻以及作为空间竞争者、病原体和珊瑚捕食者的异养滤食性动物）。针对四个主要水质参数，分别评估了这些生物群体各自的响应：（1）溶解无机养分增加；（2）颗粒有机物富集；（3）浊度导致的光照减少；（4）沉积物增加。这种区分有助于理清和理解导致实地变化的机制，因为实地存在许多污染物和多种响应同时出现的情况。该综述还总结了决定对退化的局部和区域抗性及恢复力水平的地理和生物因素。它为评估因沿海水质变化可能发生的变化类型提供了概念性帮助。
