Large-scale variation in combined impacts of canopy loss and disturbance on community structure and ecosystem functioning.

Large-scale variation in combined impacts of canopy loss and disturbance on community structure and ecosystem functioning.

Ecosystems are under pressure from multiple human disturbances whose impact may vary depending on environmental context. We experimentally evaluated variation in the separate and combined effects of the loss of a key functional group (canopy algae) and physical disturbance on rocky shore ecosystems...
