Marine intertidal organisms found in experimental clearings on sheltered shores in the Gulf of Maine
Experimental clearings in macroalgal (Ascophyllum nodosum) stands were established in 1996 to determine if mussel beds and macroalgal stands on protected intertidal shores of New England represent alternative community states. Circular clearings 1, 2, 4, and 8 m in diameter were made in Ascophyllum...
