Effect of seaweed canopy disturbance on understory microbial communities on rocky shores

IntroductionThe collapse of macroalgal habitats is altering the structure of benthic communities on rocky shores globally. Nonetheless, how the loss of canopy-forming macroalgae influences the structure of epilithic microbial communities is yet to be explored. MethodsHere, we used experimental field...
