In response to the environmental damage caused by urbanization, Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are being implemented enhance biodiversity and ecosystem processes with mutual benefits for society nature. Although field of NbS is flourishing, experiments in different geographic locations contexts have produced variable results, knowledge particularly lacking subtidal zone. This study tested effects...

The flatworm, Stylochus ellipticus Girard, was the predominant predator on barnacles, and the bryozoan, Victorella pavida Kent, was the major spatial competitor. Those intertidal barnacles not ki...
