Abstract
Very few studies have been conducted on the long-term effects of typhoon damage on mesophotic coral reefs. This study investigates the long-term community dynamics of damage from Typhoon 17 (Jelawat) in 2012 on the coral community of the upper mesophotic Ryugu Reef in Okinawa, Japan. A shift from foliose to bushy coral morphologies between December 2012 and August 2015 was documented, especially on the area of the reef that was previously recorded to be poor in scleractinian genera diversity and dominated by foliose corals. Comparatively, an area with higher diversity of scleractinian coral genera was observed to be less affected by typhoon damage with more stable community structure due to less change in dominant coral morphologies. Despite some changes in the composition of dominant genera, the generally high coverage of the mesophotic coral community is facilitating the recovery of Ryugu Reef after typhoon damage.
Sangat sedikit penelitian yang telah dilakukan mengenai dampak jangka panjang dari kerusakan akibat topan terhadap terumbu karang mesofotik. Penelitian ini menyelidiki dinamika komunitas jangka panjang dari kerusakan akibat Topan 17 (Jelawat) pada tahun 2012 terhadap komunitas karang di Terumbu Ryugu mesofotik atas di Okinawa, Jepang. Pergeseran dari morfologi karang *foliose* ke *bushy* antara Desember 2012 dan Agustus 2015 berhasil didokumentasikan, terutama pada area terumbu yang sebelumnya tercatat memiliki keanekaragaman genus skleraktinia yang rendah dan didominasi oleh karang *foliose*. Sebagai perbandingan, area dengan keanekaragaman genus karang skleraktinia yang lebih tinggi teramati kurang terdampak oleh kerusakan akibat topan dengan struktur komunitas yang lebih stabil karena minimnya perubahan pada morfologi karang dominan. Terlepas dari beberapa perubahan dalam komposisi genus dominan, tutupan komunitas karang mesofotik yang secara umum tinggi memfasilitasi pemulihan Terumbu Ryugu setelah kerusakan akibat topan.
