Global patterns of macro invertebrate biomass in marine intertidal communities
We examine global patterns of benthic macroinvertebrate biomass and its distribution among functional feeding guilds in marine intertidal cOnmlunities. Variation in ash-free dry biomass was related to physical variables (mean annual air and water temperatures, sediment grain size, intertidal slope, tide range and type, wave height and exposure) by least-squares regression analysis of data for 3...
متن کاملDistribution of seaweeds in Mangrove forests
Many of the mangrove forests are characterized by macroalgae growing epiphytically on pneumatophores, prop roots, stems and other hard substrates. Mangrove macroalgae have an important role as primary producers in the estuarine ecosystem. In the present study, four different mangrove habitats were selected to identify the macroalgae inhabiting the roots of a mangrove species Avicennia marina in...
متن کاملMangrove Forests
The mangrove environment is not globally homogeneous, but involves many environmental gradients to which mangrove species must adapt and overcome to maintain the familiar structure and physiognomy associated with the mangrove ecosystem. The stature of mangroves, measured by tree height, decreases along the following environmental gradients from low to high salinity, low to high wind speed, high...

متن کاملAssessing Effects of Petroleum Oil on Intertidal Invertebrate Communities in Sydney Harbour: Preparedness Pays Off
In August 1999, a crude oil spill of some 296 000 litres from the oil tanker Laura D’Amato occurred in Gore Cove, in inner Sydney Harbour, Port Jackson (Australia), during unloading at the terminal of the Shell Co of Australia. Our laboratory has been conducting surveys over ten years of the intertidal organisms of Port Jackson, most intensively the rock platforms, with funding from the Shell C...
