Resumen

The initial recovery process of Arcoproa palmata in two distant reefs, impacted in 1988 by a hurricane (class V) and a tropical storm, was analyzed for a five year period. The reefs are located in different environmental settings and subject to moderate local human influence. Recoverye stimations were based on cesuses of live cover, size and number of colonies on the reef crest of both reefs, comprising different spatial scales and reef pmorphologies. It was observed that after a avariable lag period the recovery process was well underway in both reefs. the main trend observed in the recovery patterns between and within the reefs is a high variability at different spatial scales, related to both the past spatial structure of A. palmata, and also tothe new conditions resulting form the storms's impact. The implications of this variability in terms of assessing recovery at local (reef) scales are discussed.
