Annual cycle of wrack supply to sandy beaches: effect of the physical environment (2011, background): “Allochthonous subsidies support most of the beach food web (Griffiths et al. 1983, McLachlan & Brown 2006), also serving as habitat and refuge for the macrofaunal community (Ince et al. 2007).”
Allochthonous brown algae are the primary food source for consumers in a temperate, coastal environment (2009, background): “For example, terrestrial ecosystems can receive inputs of guano from seabirds (Polis & Hurd 1996) or marine macrophytes through water movement (Ince et al. 2007).”
