Ecological engineering on rocky shores: grazing, predation, nutrient availability and their influence on epifaunal communities
“Ecosystem engineers modify, create/destroy habitat and directly/indirectly modulate availability of resources to other species by causing physical state changes to biotic and abiotic materials” (Jones et al, 1994, page 1). Previous studies have analysed top-down and bottom-up relationships to deter...
