Macroscale to local scale variation in rocky intertidal community structure and dynamics in relation to coastal upwelling

Creator:

Freidenburg, Tess L.

Abstract:

Understanding how large-scale processes (>100 kms) influence ecological communities is currently a major focus in ecology. In marine systems, coastal upwelling, a large-scale oceanographic process in which surface water pushed offshore by winds is replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water from depth, appears to cause variation in rocky intertidal communities. Along...

Bottom-up and top-down forces in tidepools : the influence of nutrients, herbivores, and wave exposure on community structure

Creator:

Nielsen, Karina Johanna

Abstract:

The relationship between nutrients and community structure is poorly understood in open-coast habitats. I created a system of artificial tidepools, of identical age and physical dimensions, at two sites that differed in wave exposure, and manipulated nutrient levels and the abundance of herbivores. Using these unique field mesocosms, I explored...
