The mechanics of wave-swept algae
Wave-swept marine algae must contend with the hydrodynamic forces imposed by extreme
water velocities. Nonetheless, they seldom have a shape that appears streamlined and they …

Mechanical consequences of size in wave‐swept algae
The intertidal zone of wave—swept rocky shores is characterized by high velocities and
exceedingly rapid accelerations. The resulting hydrodynamic forces (drag, lift, and the …

Drag and dislodgment of an intertidal macroalga: consequences of morphological variation in Mastocarpus papillatus Kützing
E Carrington - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1990 - Elsevier
Survival of intertidal macroalgae depends on their ability to withstand the large
hydrodynamic forces generated by breaking waves, an ability that may be a function of both …

Root anchorage and its significance for submerged plants in shallow lakes
J Schutten, J Dainty, AJ Davy - Journal of Ecology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 Submerged plants in shallow lakes are subject to pulling forces arising from
waves, currents and grazing birds. Such forces can cause anchorage failure (mainly …

Grazing damage and encrustation by an invasive bryozoan reduce the ability of kelps to withstand breakage by waves
Increased breakage of macroalgal fronds during large wave events can significantly reduce
canopy cover and biomass. We examined the effects of encrustation by the invasive …
