Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Spectral reflectance provides a potentially non-invasive approach to estimating coral pigments. We developed revised models using partial least-squares regression trained on paired reflectance and high-performance liquid chromatography pigment data from five coral species. Robust cross-validation yielded useful models for chlorophyll a, peridinin, diadinoxanthin, and beta-carotene, though chlorophyll c2 and diatoxanthin performed poorly, likely from chromatographic or degradation issues. Target factor analysis confirmed all pigments were spectrally present. Applying the models to >4000 spectra from 130 corals across 16 genera produced biologically reasonable estimates consistent with Symbiodiniaceae pigment suites. Although prediction errors limit high-precision physiology, these models enable scalable, non-destructive monitoring of coral pigment dynamics.
