A fundamental goal of the study of ecology is to determine the drivers of habitat-forming
vegetation, with much emphasis given to the relative importance to vegetation of “bottom-up” …

Nutrient (eg, nitrogen and phosphorus) loss from point and non-point sources can cause
critical environmental problems, deteriorating the quality of surface water and groundwater …

The recovery of top predators is thought to have cascading effects on vegetated ecosystems
and their geomorphology,, but the evidence for this remains correlational and intensely …

Nutrient enrichment has degraded many of the world's estuaries by amplifying algal
production, leading to hypoxia/anoxia, loss of vascular plants and fish/shellfish habitat, and …

We developed a method to predict the susceptibility of New Zealand estuaries to
eutrophication. This method predicts macroalgae and phytoplankton responses to potential …

Imagery from unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) is useful for mapping floating and emerged
primary producers, as well as single taxa of submerged primary producers in shallow, clear …

Coastal ecosystems provide numerous important ecological services, including
maintenance of biodiversity and nursery grounds for many fish species of ecological and …

Globally, many estuaries are affected by nutrient loading from human land uses in the
surrounding watersheds. One consequence of increased nutrient levels is proliferation of …

Despite the abundance of literature on organismal responses to multiple environmental
stressors, most studies have not matched the timing of experimental manipulations with the …

The global decline of marine foundation species (kelp forests, mangroves, salt marshes, and
seagrasses) has contributed to the degradation of the coastal zone and threatens the loss of …
