Abstract: The dominant components of the mid-shore community of 4 sheltered, rocky shores in the south of the Isle of Man, UK, were surveyed. A 2-way factorial experiment to investigate the community structuring roles of Ascophyllum nodosum (hereafter AscophyUum) canopies and Patella vulgata grazing was undertaken at 1 site and monitored over a period of 6 yr. Removal of the canopy had a marked impact on the understorey community, with both direct and indirect effects. In contrast, the effect of limpet removal was limit… Show more

“…In terrestrial habitats, the balance of facilitation and competition is known to vary with the life stages and physiologies of interacting species and with indirect interactions involving other organisms (Walker & Vitousek 1991, Chapin et al 1994, Miller 1994, Callaway et al 1996. In the aquatic realm, switches from positive to negative effects have been observed along environmental gradients of stress (Bruno et al 2003), and with different canopy-forming species, along vertical gradients (Hawkins 1983, Jenkins et al 1999). In our analyses, switches in the direction of the effects of HFSs on other organisms were revealed clearly by the quadratic contrasts.…”

“…In the marine environment, seaweed canopies (Dayton 1975, Menge 1978, Eckman et al 1989, Bertness et al 1999, Jenkins et al 1999, seagrass (Orth 1977, Irlandi & Peterson 1991, or mussel beds (Suchanek 1985, Witman 1987) may play an important role in structuring assemblages, by modifying the physical features of the habitat through their morphologies. Removal experiments have been historically used to show these effects, but mostly in terms of presence or absence of a single species (Dayton 1975, Santelices & Ojeda 1984, Connolly 1994.…”

“…The strength of this critical interaction will affect the extent of macroalgal development (with consequences for trophic transfer and the balance between import and export of energy) and potentially stability of the system. Along the wave exposure gradient of the North Atlantic rocky intertidal, the community shifts from one dominated by secondary production at exposed sites, where the dominant species (mussels, barnacles) harvest primary production from the plankton, to sheltered shore communities dominated by primary production of macroalgae (Jenkins et al 1999a). Thus, there is a shift in trophic structure and potentially of transfer efficiency.…”
