Intertidal species abundances facing a multiple stress/disturbance experiment in St. Lawrence Estuary (Sainte-Flavie, QC, Canada) 2012-2013

DOI

Abundances (percent cover, counts or biomass) of rocky mid-intertidal macro-species measured through a multi-factorial in situ experiment of 14 months in 2012-2013 in Sainte-Flavie, Québec, Canada (48°37'42.5″ N, 68°11'55.7″ W).Using 0.25-m² plots, we ran an in situ one-pulse experiment (removal of all materials to bare rock and then burning of the surface) followed by a full orthogonal factorial design of three press-type disturbances or stresses: grazer reduction, canopy removal, and nutrient enrichment. We evaluated percentage cover visually. Counts and biomass were obtained destructively at the end of the experiment.For further details, refer to our paper (https://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.2467).
