Description
Description
Ecology of Marine Rocky Shores, Volume 105 in the Advances in Marine Biology series, highlights new advances in the field, presenting comprehensive chapters written by an international board of authors. This volume explores key ecological processes shaping rocky shore environments, including the impacts of plastic pollution, the dynamics of warm-temperate and subtropical systems, and the roles of foundation species and community interactions.
Additional chapters examine conservation planning, kelp ecology and restoration, fisheries and indigenous knowledge, and the influence of ocean rafting on species distribution. The volume also addresses spatial and network approaches to ecology, coastal marine microbiology, and the ecological impacts of invasive species. Together, these contributions provide an integrated perspective on the structure, function, and resilience of rocky shore ecosystems, offering valuable insights for researchers, marine ecologists, and environmental scientists.
