Environmental heterogeneity mediates scale-dependent declines in kelp diversity on intertidal rocky shores.
Biodiversity loss is driven by interacting factors operating at different spatial scales. Yet, there remains uncertainty as to how fine-scale environmental conditions mediate biological responses to broad-scale stressors. We surveyed intertidal rocky shore kelp beds situated across a local gradient...
