Communities are the groups of populations of species that co-occur at a given place and time. Current understanding of processes affecting community structure in benthic marine habitats will be critically appraised. The main focus will be on temperate and tropical coastal habitats, such as rocky shores, kelp forests and mangrove forests. We will consider how oceanic, atmospheric and geological processes interact with biological processes such as reproduction, dispersal, herbivory and predation to cause variations in community structure. Against this background of natural variation, we will assess how the impact of man's activities can be detected and reduced.
