Ultraviolet radiation shapes seaweed communities
Stratospheric ozone depletion and the concomitant increase in irradiance of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) at the earth’s surface represent major threats to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In costal rocky shore environments, seaweeds constitute a group of organisms of particular significance to ecosystem function. Thus, impairment of seaweed performance by UVB-exposure may result in severe c...
متن کاملSeaweed Communities in Retreat from Ocean Warming
In recent decades, global climate change [1] has caused profound biological changes across the planet [2-6]. However, there is a great disparity in the strength of evidence among different ecosystems and between hemispheres: changes on land have been well documented through long-term studies, but similar direct evidence for impacts of warming is virtually absent from the oceans [3, 7], where on...
متن کاملCompetition, a Major Factor Structuring Seaweed Communities
Competition for shared resources has long been viewed as an important structuring agent in natural communities (Gause 1934; Strong 1980). Generally defined as the simultaneous use of limited resources by two or more organisms, competition can negatively impact population growth rates and influence community-level processes such as predation and/or how species respond to disturbances (Roughgarde...
متن کاملCanopy interactions and physical stress gradients in subtidal communities.
Species interactions are integral drivers of community structure and can change from competitive to facilitative with increasing environmental stress. In subtidal marine ecosystems, however, interactions along physical stress gradients have seldom been tested. We observed seaweed canopy interactions across depth and latitudinal gradients to test whether light and temperature stress structured i...
متن کاملPolychaeta density changes in Chabahar Bay subtidal area with emphasis on the role of heavy metals (Cooper and Zinc)
Chabahar Bay near Makran Sea, with the ports of transactions, has always been under the influence of annual monsoon the Indian Ocean. Density changes and heavy metals copper and zinc of Chabahar bay subtidal sediments were studied in 22 stations and three seasons that include: pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon during 2014. Polychaeta abundances mean were for premonsoon 1261.49±38.81, monso...
