Abstract:
This objectives of this study were "To demonstrate the relative importance of bottom-up (nutrient addition) and top-down (herbivory exclusion) treatments in controlling benthic community structure on nearshore and offshore reefs'. Further "to determine if offshore reefs differ from nearshore reefs in their responses to nutrient enrichment and herbivory exclusion."--General Introduction (leaf 7).
