The influence of physical factors on kelp and sea urchin distribution in previously and still grazed areas in the NE Atlantic.
The spatial distribution of kelp (Laminaria hyperborea) and sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) in the NE Atlantic are highly related to physical factors and to temporal changes in temperature. On a large scale, we identified borders for kelp recovery and sea urchin persistence along the...
