Multi-scale processes drive benthic community structure in upwelling-affected coral reefs
Environmental processes acting at multiple spatial scales control benthic community structures in coral reefs. However, the contribution of local factors (e.g., substrate availability and water clarity) vs. non-local oceanographic processes (e.g. upwelling events) in these highly complex systems is...
