Projects:
- In order to prove the cause–effect relationship between sea urchin density and formation of barren ground, a caging experiment was carried out to manipulate sea urchin density in order to evaluate the grazing pressure of this sea urchin on S. siliquastrum, the main subtidal canopy species. Furthermore, the effectiveness of transplantation strategies using adult Sargassum thalli or Sargassum recruits on ceramic tiles to facilitate the recovery of Sargassum beds was also investigated.
