The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “Once established, turfs and sediments seem to provide positive feedbacks for each other that inhibit the recovery of canopy habitats and prevent the system from regenerating (Airoldi and Virgilio, 1998; Connell, 2005).”
Loss of fucoid algae along a gradient of urbanisation, and structure of benthic assemblages (2008, background): “…(Scheffer et al. 2001 and references therein), turfs of corallinales and canopy algae have been proposed as alternative states in temperate reefs (Airoldi 2003, Connell 2005); this study supports the hypothesis that coastal urbanisation could be a driver of shifts between canopy habitats and turfs.”
Physical disturbance and subtidal habitat structure on open rocky coasts: Effects of wave exposure, extent and intensity (2008, methodology): “The percentage cover ofE. radiata recruits, fucoid recruits, filamentous algae, encrusting algae, foliose algae and sessile animals was quantified in the centre of each experimental plot using the point intercept method (20×20 cm quadrat with 25 intersections, Drummond and Connell, 2005).”
Turf wars: competition between foundation and turf-forming species on temperate and tropical reefs and its role in regime shifts (2018, background): “Furthermore, movement of fronds across the bottom limits sediment accumulation (Connell 2005, Wernberg et al. 2005, Irving & Connell 2006b) and temperature-mediated epiphyte growth, which facilitates recruitment of canopy algae (Bennett & Wernberg 2014).”
Conservation challenges in urban seascapes: promoting the growth of threatened species on coastal infrastructures (2012, background): “We also analysed whether lack of naturally occurring surrounding adult canopies on such infrastruc- tures, which normally facilitate natural recruitment of canopies (Connell 2005; Irving & Connell 2006), limits successful transplantation.”
