Seascape ecology of coastal biogenic habitats: advances, gaps, and challenges (2011, background): “This is surprising given their high global loss rates (Beck et al. 2009), their importance for coastal ecosystem function (Peterson et al. 2003), and their critical role as links in coastal seascapes (Micheli & Peterson 1999, Shervette & Gelwick 2008).”
Restoring shellfish reefs: Global guidelines for practitioners and scientists (2020, background): “The global Shellfish Reefs at Risk assessment (Beck et al., 2009; Beck et al., 2011) revealed steep and widespread declines in native populations of ecosystem-forming bivalves such as oysters and mussels (herein “shellfish reefs”), which was confirmed by subsequent and more detailed national and…”
Oyster Shell Dissolution Rates in Estuarine Waters: Effects of pH and Shell Legacy (2011, background): “Although the importance of the shell habitat for recruitment of juveniles is well documented, the cycling of this shell material and lifetime on oyster reefs has only recently received treatment (Powell et al. 2006, Beck et al. 2009).”
