DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.07.016
Abstract: Abstract The increasing anthropogenic disturbance on coastal ecosystems has threatened ecological interactions and ecosystems functioning. To investigate if human pressure affects the trophic structure of sandy beaches, mass-balanced models were applied on two Brazilian sandy… read more here.
