- Abstract
The article discusses the dynamics of the coral community structure in Tung Ping Chau in Hong Kong, based on the data collected during the summer typhoon seasons in 1997 to 1999. It is said that a total of 45 scleractinian coral species from 21 genera was recorded. Multidimensional scaling ordinations are used, showing spatial variations in the coral communities within marine sites. It is mentioned that the variations were a result of the effects of the repeated cyclone impacts on the coral communities.
