Predicting impacts of climate-induced range expansion: an experimental framework and a test involving key grazers on temperate rocky shores
Climate change has strong potential to modify the structure and functioning of ecosystems, but experimental field studies into its effects are rare. On rocky shores, grazing limpets strongly affect ecosystem structure and their distribution in NW Europe is changing in response to climate change. Thr...
