  abstract = {{M}ost current coral reef management is supported by mapping and monitoring limited in record length and spatial extent. {T}hese deficiencies were addressed in a multidisciplinary study of cyclone impacts on {A}bore {R}eef, {N}ew-{C}aledonia. {L}ocal knowledge, high thematic-resolution maps, and time-series satellite imagery complemented classical in situ monitoring methods. {F}ield survey stations were selected from examination of pre- and post-cyclone images and their post-cyclone coral communities documented in terms of substrata, coral morphologies, live coral cover, and taxonomy. {T}ime-series maps of hierarchically defined coral communities created at spatial scales documenting the variability among communities (29-45 classes) and suggesting the processes that affected them. {T}he increased spatial coverage and repeatability of this approach significantly improved the recognition and interpretation of coral communities' spatio-temporal variability. {I}t identified precise locations of impacted areas and those exhibiting coral recovery and resilience. {T}he approach provides a comprehensive suite of information on which to base reef-scale conservation actions. {C}rown {C}opyright ({C}) 2010 {P}ublished by {E}lsevier {L}td. {A}ll rights reserved.},
