Energetic context determines the effects of multiple upwelling-associated stressors on sea urchin performance

Abstract Globally, kelp forests are threatened by multiple stressors, including increasing grazing by sea urchins. With coastal upwelling predicted to increase in intensity and duration in the future, understanding whether kelp forest and urchin barren urchins are differentially affected by upwellin...
