Patterns of macrophyte wrack deposition on sandy beaches of the Pacific Northwest coast, U.S.A.

Creator:

Reimer, Jessica N.

Abstract:

Dislodged macroalgae and seagrasses, also known as marine wrack, frequently wash into coastal ecosystems from the ocean and are potentially important ecological resources for biological communities. These!nutrient and organic matter subsidies may be especially important on sandy beaches, where little in situ primary productivity exists for higher trophic levels. To...

Predictability and constraints on the structure of ecological communities in the context of climate change

Creator:

Barner, Allison K.

Abstract:

Ecologists must increasingly balance the need for accurate predictions about how ecosystems will be affected by climate change, against the fact that making such predictions at the ecosystem-level may be infeasible. Although information about responses of individual species to a changing environment is increasing, scaling such information to the community...
