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...

Variation in Rocky Intertidal Community Structure and Dynamics in Relation to Coastal Upwelling. Abstract
Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:

Sanford, Eric (Eric David)

Abstract:

The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...
