Table 2. Overall changes in colony density.

Cumulative changes in Acropora spp. colony density over the full study duration (2005–07 versus 2014–15) pooled among sites with and without outplanting for each species. Sites and specific durations for each given in Table S2. Density expressed as number of colonies per hectare.

	Total Congr area (ha)	# colonies early	Density early	# colonies late	Density late	Change in density
A. cervicornis
With outplants (n = 7 sites)	50.8	93	1.8	1356	26.7	13.6
Without outplants (n = 7 sites)	33.2	227	6.8	144	4.3	−0.4
A. palmata
With outplants (n = 5 sites)	33.8	620	18.3	369	10.9	−0.4
Without outplants (n = 9 sites)	50.2	671	13.4	178	3.5	−0.7
