简介
Aim
Topographic complexity is widely accepted as a key driver of biodiversity, but at the patch‐scale, complexity–biodiversity relationships may vary spatially and temporally according to the environmental stressors complexity mitigates, and the species richness and identity of potential colonists. Using a manipulative experiment, we assessed spatial variation in patch‐scale effects of complexity on intertidal biodiversity.
Location
27 sites within 14 estuaries/bays distributed globally.
Time period
2015–2017.
Major taxa studied
Functional groups of algae, sessile and mobile invertebrates.
Methods
Concrete tiles of differing complexity (flat; 2.5‐cm or 5‐cm complex) were affixed at low–high intertidal elevation on coastal defence structures, and the richness and abundance of the colonizing taxa were quantified after 12 months.
Results
The patch‐scale effects of complexity varied spatially and among functional …
