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

Creator:

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...
