  • Drivers of Kelp Forest Responses to Global Change: From Populations to Policies

    Creator:
    Hamilton, Sara L.
    Abstract:
    Kelps are large brown algae in the order Laminariales and are foundation species that form the basis of kelp forests. Present across a quarter of the world’s coastlines, kelp forests provide diverse services to coastal communities, as habitat for commercially and culturally important species, as a food source for humans...

  • Linking marine communities and ecosystems : invertebrates mediate nutrient availability in intertidal communities

    Creator:
    Bracken, Matthew E.
    Abstract:
    While community ecologists have traditionally focused on local-scale processes, it has become apparent that a broader perspective, which explores the community-level ramifications of material fluxes within and between ecosystems, is necessary to effectively evaluate bottom-up influences on community structure and dynamics. In this dissertation, I employed ecosystem principles to understand...

  • Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

    Creator:
    Hessing-Lewis, Margot
    Abstract:
    This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...
