DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2019.151283
Abstract: Abstract Hard bottom communities are variable systems controlled by physical environmental factors, and can be altered by disturbances. Biological factors such as competition, predation, and recruitment can also exert control on the structure of hard… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2017.04.009
Abstract: Hard-bottom habitats with complex topography and fragile epibenthic communities are still not adequately considered in benthic monitoring programs, despite their potential ecological importance. While indicators of ecosystem health are defined by major EU directives, methods… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d11050074
Abstract: Composition, trophic structure, and species-substrate relationships of molluscan assemblages inhabiting different hard bottom habitats (Sabellaria alveolata reef, photophilic bottoms, Phyllophora crispa sciaphilic assemblage, and coralligenous bioconstruction) were studied in two different sites of the Tyrrhenian… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14681
Abstract: Hard-bottom habitats span a range of natural substrates (e.g., boulders, cobble) and artificial habitats (e.g., the base of wind turbines, oil platforms). These hard-bottom habitats can provide a variety of ecosystem services, ranging from the… read more here.
