The effects of interspecies interactions and environmental conditions on biomass accumulation of sessile organisms within Oregon’s rocky mid-intertidal habitats

Creator:

Carsh, Alexander C.

Abstract:

With changing climate conditions and human impacts on ecosystems becoming a big focus of study, it has become even more crucial to understand how our ecosystems work.

Site and Light: Looking at factors that affect the growth rate of Saccharina sessilis

Creator:

Beem, Kristin, Meltvedt, Ariana, and Carsh, Alexander

Abstract:

Saccharina sessilis, lettuce kelp, is a macroalgae that contributes to the primary production in the intertidal zone off of the Oregon Coast. Macroalgae can serve as a bioindicator of increased nutrient input, water quality, and shifts in the intertidal environment. Competition for light exists between macroalgae species and with other...
