One example of low diversity with coral reef bleaching could be a situation where a coral reef ecosystem is dominated by a single species of coral. If that particular species is particularly vulnerable to bleaching events, such as high sea temperatures or pollution, the entire reef could be at risk of bleaching. Without a diverse range of coral species to help buffer against these threats, the reef could suffer significant damage and struggle to recover. This lack of diversity can make the ecosystem more susceptible to negative impacts and limit its ability to adapt and recover from environmental stressors.
