Micro-erosion meter sites, installed on Aldabra atoll, Indian Ocean in 1969 to measure erosion rates in coastal and subaerial sites were remeasured in 1971 and again in 1982. The orders of magnitude of calculated erosion rates are comparable
Observations on 16 years of microfloral recolonization data from limestone surfaces, Aldabra atoll, Indian Ocean : implications for biological weathering
An initial, short-term study (1982-83) of microfloral colonization on cleared plots on Quaternary reef limestones on Aldabra Atoll revealed considerable variability in colonization rates, with wetter sites and softer rocks prone to more luxuriant
, interactions avec les animaux, d'où l'on déduit des généralités sur les atolls. Mais si le travail de Stoddart sur l'atoll d'Aldabra et l'Océan Indien constituent une référence, les points de comparaison manquent en particulier pour le Pacifique. L'idée
