| Title | The Importance of Marine Predators in the Provisioning of Ecosystem Services by Coastal Plant Communities |
| Creator | Atwood, Trisha B. Hammill, Edd |
| Description | Food web theory predicts that current global declines in marine predators could generate unwanted consequences for many marine ecosystems. In coastal plant communities (kelp, seagrass, mangroves, and salt marsh), several studies have documented the far-reaching effects of changing predator populations. Across coastal ecosystems, the loss of marine predators appears to negatively affect coastal plant communities and the ecosystem services they provide. Here, we discuss some of the documented... |
