Differential effects of pollution on adult and recruits of a canopy-forming alga: implications for population viability under low pollutant levels
Abstract Marine macroalgal forests are highly productive and iconic ecosystems, which are seriously threatened by number of factors such as habitat destruction, overgrazing, ocean warming, and pollution. The effect of chronic, but low levels of pollutants on the long-term survival of the canopy-form...
