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...
