Ecological subsidies to rocky shore communities : setting the stage for community dynamics in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:

Krenz, Christopher

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on the importance of pelagic subsidies in the Northeast Pacific to rocky shore community regulation. My results document the patterns of pelagic subsidy supply, determine if those subsidies are correlated with community structure, and examine if community regulation differs between areas of high- and low-subsidies. Understanding how...

Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

Creator:

Kavanaugh, Maria T.

Abstract:

Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...
