Effects of coastal orientation and depth on the distribution of subtidal benthic assemblages

摘要: A better understanding of biological systems can only be gained if we understand what processes are important and how they operate to determine the distribution organisms. Coastal orientation depth influence environmental conditions, including degree water motion availability light, which in turn may horizontal vertical patterns organism distribution. Here, used a mixed-model design examine effects coastal on structure benthic assemblages by comparing abundance macroalgae invertebrates shallow deep waters
