This study examines the influence of intertidal macroalgae on sediment accumulation, and the effect of sediment cover on intertidal community structure. Three shores on the North Yorkshire coast, England, were used to investigate differences in th...

Algal morphology is considered to be influenced by physiological and environmental factors such as stress and disturbance; one key disturbance exerted on algae is grazing pressure from herbivores. The factors upon which herbivores base their food pre... Read More about The application of a functional group approach to algal-grazer interactions.
