Conceptual models predict counteractive effects of herbivores and nutrient enrichment on
plant diversity and reversed effects of grazers under different nutrient regimes. I tested these …

Increased nutrient loading favors macroalgal blooms in eutrophied coastal ecosystems. The
main counteracting factor on this bottom-up support is top-down control by consumers. We …

During the last few decades the perennial seaweed Fucus vesiculosus L. has rapidly
declined in large parts of the Baltic Sea. Indirect effects of eutrophication, such as increased …

Delayed recruitment of microscopic stages in response to cyclical cues is critical to the
population dynamics of many annual and seasonally reproducing perennial seaweeds …

Abstract In the Baltic Sea, abiotic factors are often supposed to explain the distribution of the
key species Fucus vesiculosus. Still, in many areas, decline of F. vesiculosus has coincided …

There is a global trend towards elevated nutrients in coastal waters, especially on human-
dominated coasts. We assessed local-to regional-scale relationships between the …

Coastal areas around the world are experiencing increasing disturbance from multiple
stressors caused by anthropogenic activities. Although there is good knowledge about the …

Strong top-down control by grazers is considered a moderating influence on the negative
effects of elevated nutrients on marine algae. Little experimental work has been done in a …

Loss of biodiversity and nutrient enrichment are two of the main human impacts on
ecosystems globally, yet we understand very little about the interactive effects of multiple …

In rocky littoral communities, intense herbivory allows for the occurrence of trophic cascades
where higher trophic levels influence producer communities. Invasive predators can be …
