AB  - Recently, increasing evidence suggests that reef-building corals exposed to 
      elevated suspended solids (SS) are largely structured by changes in underwater 
      light availability (ULA). However, there are few direct and quantitative 
      observations in situ support for this hypothesis; in particular, the contribution 
      of SS to the diffuse attenuation coefficient of the photosynthetically active 
      radiation (K(d-PAR)) variations is not yet fully understood. Here, we 
      investigated the variations in ULA, the structure of coral assemblages, and the 
      concentration and composition of SS on the Luhuitou fringing reef, Sanya, China. 
      Light attenuation was rapid (K(d-PAR): 0.60 +/- 0.39 m(-1)) resulting in a shallow 
      euphotic depth (Z(eu-PAR)) (<11 m). Benthic PAR showed significant positive 
      correlations with branching and corymbose corals (e.g. Acropora spp.), while 
      massive and encrusting species (e.g. Porites spp.) dominated the coral 
      communities and showed no significant correlations with PAR. These results 
      indicate that the depth range available for coral growth is shallow and the 
      tolerance to low-light stress differs among coral species. Notably, K(d-PAR) 
      showed no significant correlations with the grain size fractions of SS, whereas 
      significant positive correlations were found with its organic fraction content, 
      demonstrating that the light attenuation of SS is mainly regulated by particulate 
      organic matter (POM). Intriguingly, our isotopic evidence revealed that POM 
      concentration contributed the most to changes in K(d-PAR), with its source being 
      slightly less important. Combined, our results highlight ULA regulated by POM is 
      an important factor in contributing to changes in coral assemblages on inshore 
      turbid reefs, and reducing the input of terrestrial materials, especially POM, is 
      an effective measure to alleviate the low-light stress on sensitive coral 
      species.
