Nutrient versus herbivore control of macroalgal community development and coral growth on a Caribbean reef (2009, background): “Fishes that have broad home ranges (Mumby & Wabnitz 2002) could amass and focus on these small, enriched areas in ways that may not be possible if enrichment occurs on the large spatial scale at which some algal blooms have been documented (Smith et al. 2005, Fong et al. 2006).”
Modeling the growth response of Cladophora in a Laurentian Great Lake to the exotic invader Dreissena and to lake warming (2008, background): “Blooms of annual or ephemeral attached macroalgae are symptomatic of nutrient enrichment in littoral zones underlain by hard substrata and are typically indicative of degraded ecosystem health (Raven and Taylor 2003; Smith et al. 2005; Worm and Lotze 2006).”
