Influence of piers on functional groups of benthic primary producers and consumers in the channel of a subtropical coastal lagoon

Influence of piers on functional groups of benthic primary producers and consumers in the channel of a subtropical coastal lagoon

Artificial habitats have become common in coastal areas worldwide and may influence the structure and functioning of benthic ecosystems. We analyze the influence of piers on the benthic morphofunctional groups of rocky seaweeds and of soft bottom macrofauna in the channel of Conceição Lagoon (southe...
