The roles of nutrient dynamics, oceanography, and light in the structure and functioning of rocky intertidal macrophyte assemblages

Creator:: Close, Sarah L.
Abstract:: The influence of the physical environment on organisms has long been a subject of ecological research. But, the complex drivers of environmental variation, and the multiple scales at which this can occur, make studying this topic a difficult challenge. In rocky intertidal habitats, oceanographic- and climate-scale variability influence benthic communities...
