Rock-protecting seaweed? Experimental evidence of bioprotection in the intertidal zone
Biogeomorphological processes are an important component of dynamic intertidal systems. On rocky shores, the direct contribution of microorganisms, plants and animals to weathering and erosion is well known. There is also increasing evidence that organisms can alter rock breakdown indirectly, by mod...
