Results from literature review of articles from 1984–2022.

Research articles from 1984–2022 were identified from Web of Science using the search string “coral* + restoration” within the title, keywords, and/or abstract of publications, and subsequently filtered only for experimental studies involving coral restoration. The environmental parameters that were noted in each article’s methodology as being explicitly measured were recorded. Although water depth of study sites was noted in many articles, this was only counted when explicitly considered as a distinct research parameter (i.e., where comparisons in depth were experimentally investigated).
