The effects of biomechanical and ecological factors on population and community structure of wave-exposed, intertidal macroalgae

Creator:

Blanchette, Carol A.

Abstract:

I examined the biomechanical factors that influence the sizes of intertidal macroalgae by studying a population of Fucus gardneri at Fogarty Creek Point, OR. I constructed a mathematical model to predict optimal sizes and probabilities of survival for Fucus under conditions of high and low wave exposure. Predicted optimal sizes...
