Continuous records of temperature and chlorophyll- a [chl- a] fluorescence were used to characterize phytoplankton variability at two shallow intertidal stations on the northern California coast. Chl- a records from spring ...

Climate change will modify ecosystems, but a dearth of long-term data sets on critical ecological factors makes prediction of mechanistic pathways and scope for ecological changes difficult. Using 14–18 year time series ...

Theory suggests that variation in resource supply should propagate up trophic webs influencing plant–herbivore interactions and abundances. Community regulation models have been tested in several ecosystems, but benthic ...
