Eco-engineering urban infrastructure for marine and coastal biodiversity: Which interventions have the greatest ecological benefit? (2018, background): “…of target organism - ↑ surface area for attachment - ↑ protection from predators - ↑ functioning (e.g. filtering or pre-empting space for non-native species) - ↓ light - ↓ temperature - ↓ water motion Dafforn et al. (2015) Ferrario et al. (2016) Intertidal water retaining feature - ↑ surface area…”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, methodology): “…such as vegetation or coral, can pre-empt space that may otherwise be rapidly colonised by non-native species, potentially slowing their range expansion, whilst also preserving native biodiversity (e.g. Stachowicz et al., 2002; Perkol-Finkel et al., 2012; Ng et al., 2015; Ferrario et al., 2016).”
