The importance of understanding the ecological functioning of coastal dune systems is emphasized as being fundamental to the correct management of the dune landscape. Dune vegetation along the Eastern Cape coastline, from Cape St Francis in the west to Kei Mouth in the east was described in terms of the distribution and phytochorological affinities of the taxa. At a regional scale species distribution was strongly influenced by both the climate, particularly rainfall, and the phytochorological affinities of the taxa. Seven communities were defined using TWINSPAN, and the interrelationships bet

Due to predicted sea level rise, increased storm frequency and coastal urbanisation, artificial coastal structures are proliferating worldwide. It is now vital to understand the impact that artificial structures are having on the marine environment and it is becoming increasingly necessary to incorporate ecologically enhanced designs into both new and existing coastal infrastructure. This thesis examines the communities associated with coastal artificial structures and trials ways in which we can improve the habitat provided for marine organisms.

Abstract:

As disturbance frequencies, intensities, and types have changed and continue to change in response to changing climate and land-use patterns, coastal communities undergo shifts in both species composition and dominant vegetation type. Over the past 100 years, fire suppression throughout the Northern Gulf of Mexico coast has resulted in shifts towards woody species dominance at the expense of marsh cover. Over the next 100 years, sea levels will rise and tropical storm activity is projected to increase; resultant changes in salinity could reduce cover of salt-intolerant fresh marsh species. Tog

Abstract:

In a climate change perspective increased precipitation and temperature are expected which should influence the coastal microbial food web. Precipitation will have a strong impact on river flow and thereby increase the carbon input to the coastal zone as well as lowering the marine salinity by dilution with freshwater. Simultaneously temperature may increase by 2-5 °C, potentially influencing e.g. metabolic processes. Consequences of this have been evaluated in this thesis with focus on microbial respiration in paper II and IV. A temperature increase of 3 °C will have a marked effect on microb

Abstract:

Conventional knowledge of fynbos fire ecology is based on the summer-autumn fire regimes of the western Cape Floral Kingdom (CFK) where the climate is Mediterranean. However, the climate in the eastern coastal-CFK is milder and rainfall occurs year-round, with presumed effects on fire regimes. The Garden Route National Park (GRNP) has recently been established in the region, in a landscape where indigenous forests, fire-prone fynbos shrublands and fire-sensitive plantations of invasive alien trees are interspersed. The park faces considerable challenges related to the management of fire, inclu

Acoastal front was also occasionally present, separating the mixed water mass from coastal water.

The importance of inter- and intraspecific competition in structuring the bryozoan component of the assemblage was also examined. A necessary pre-requisite for the settlement of many marine inver

With freshwater discharge volumes of that magnitude, I hypothesized that glacier runoff has both direct and indirect effects on the receiving coastal marine ecosystems that support rich food webs, abundant and diverse marine communities, commercial fisheries

Intertidal grazing gastropods play an important role in structuring rocky shore communities. For many years the main food resource to these animals was considered to be epilithic biofilms. This study shows that macroalgae are a more important component of gastropod diets than was previously appreciated and that biofilms contribute surprisingly little to their trophic ecology. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses were used to examine grazer diets, comparing sources of assimilated carbon and nitrogen in gastropod tissues between moderately wave exposed and sheltered sites in northern and

The upper part of the seabed is considered to be in a state of dynamic liquefaction, whilst the lower portion of the bed is more consolidated.
