The present is the key to the past: linking regime shifts in kelp beds to the distribution of deep-living sea urchins
Understanding processes that drive sudden shifts in ecosystem structure and function has become an important research focus for coastal management. In kelp bed ecosystems, regime shifts occur when high densities of sea urchins destructively graze kelp and create coralline algal barrens. While the im...
