Can we use plant performance as indicators to infer plant-crab interactions in coastal saltmarshes?

Can we use plant performance as indicators to infer plant-crab interactions in coastal saltmarshes?

Increasing effort has been devoted to restoring coastal ecosystems to counteract their degradation globally. Restoration success of coastal ecosystems often relies on harnessing biotic interactions that shape the performance of foundation plant species. Crabs acting as essential ecosystem engineers...
