Sandy beaches, forming the most widespread coastal habitat in the world, are threatened by the effects of increasing anthropogenic pressure in the context of global change, including the increased occurrence of green tides composed of free-living Ulva spp. Sandy beaches are also highly dynamic ecosystems that support numerous essential ecological functions and contain a distinctive biodiversity, but their precise functioning and natural variability (i.e. the disentangling of biological and physical influences) remain under-studied. Our study aimed at determining the effects of space, time, and environmental variables on the natural variability of macrofaunal community structure and at specifically determining the effects of macroalgal accumulations on the... |
