RELATIVE ROLES OF HERBIVORY AND NUTRIENTS IN THE RECRUITMENT OF CORAL-REEF SEAWEEDS (2003, unknown): “…comparing the effects of nutrient supply and herbivory on early stages of macroalgae using factorial experiments, although evidence from temperate systems suggests that their relative importance varies (Lotze et al. 2001), and, unlike our results, may differ between early and adult stages.”
Intraspecific competition in Fucus serratus and F. evanescens (Phaeophyceae: Fucales) germlings: effects of settlement density, nutrient concentration, and temperature (2004, unknown): “Early stages of substrate colonisation usually represent a bottleneck in the development of seaweed populations, as germlings are generally more susceptible to physical and biological stresses than adults (Brawley and Johnson 1991; Lotze et al. 2001; Worm et al. 2001).”
A novel interaction between nutrients and grazers alters relative dominance of marine habitats (2005, background): “Grazing by herbivores can counter the effects of nutrient enrichment on algal habitats (Lotze et al. 2001, Hillebrand 2003), yet its effectiveness is likely to vary among regions of varying consumer pressure (Menge et al. 1999).”
Complex interactions of climatic and ecological controls on macroalgal recruitment (2002, methodology): “Recent field and laboratory studies showed that nutrient enrichment and grazing are especially effective controls during algal recruitment (i.e., the germination and growth from settled propagules) (Lotze et al. 2000, 2001; Lotze and Worm 2000).”
The Population Biology of Large Brown Seaweeds: Ecological Consequences of Multiphase Life Histories in Dynamic Coastal (2006, background): “At smaller spatial scales, a nutrient enrichment (N-P-K) and grazing experiment by Lotze et al. (2001) showed a grazing effect but no nutrient effect on Fucus germlings, although grazers caused a shift in dominance of benthic species that was enhanced by an increase in nutrients.”
Top-down versus bottom-up control of autotrophic biomass—a meta-analysis on experiments with periphyton (2002, methodology): “The experimental setup, the efficiency of the treatments and the results for filaments are described and discussed elsewhere (Lotze et al. 2001).”
