“…For instance, on Disko Island, the average microhabitat temperature in February was 9.1°C warmer than the atmospheric average (−3.40°C compared to −12.57°C). These temperature patterns are caused by the formation of intertidal ice and macroalgae that creates a protective layer during winter (Scrosati & Eckersley 2007 ) and between-fjord (meso-) scale to understand largescale species abundance, recruitment, settlement and population structures. This is supported by previous work demonstrating the intertidal zone is characterized by interactions of overlapping environmental factors including sub-zero air and water temperatures, annual primary productivity, pH, wave exposure, air exposure time, ice scour, solar radiation and rugosity (Helmuth et al 2006, Kroeker et al 2016).…”

“…In Greenland, the harsh Arctic climate challenges the intertidal mussels as in winter they may be exposed to extreme cold air temperatures (down to -25°C) twice daily if not covered by a stable ice foot (Scrosati and Eckersley 2007). The taxa distribution with a tendency to more M. trossulus in the inner fjord may be affected by the fact that the ice breaks up later in the spring in the inner fjord than at open sea, possibly affecting the time set for mussel reproduction and settlement of larvae.…”

“…At SS, maximum water velocity Lawrence occurs only at intervals of several years (Minchinton et al 1997). On the Gulf coast, sea ice forms in early winter and melts in late winter and early spring (Saucier et al 2003, Scrosati & Eckersley 2007. Measurement of the damage (angle of deformation) caused by sea ice to metallic cages affixed to the rocky substrate at SS indicated that ice scour is strong (mean angle of deformation of 90°) on wave-exposed areas and relatively mild (mean angle of 47°) on wavesheltered areas (Scrosati & Heaven 2006).…”
