Abundance and percentage cover of organisms on sheltered intertidal shores in the Gulf of Maine, 2003-2007
Experimental clearings in macroalgal (Ascophyllum nodosum) stands were made in 1996 to determine if mussel beds and macroalgal stands on protected intertidal shores in New England represent alternative community states. Uncleared control plots and four sizes of circular clearings, which mimicked ice...
