[eng] Many nearshore temperate coastal ecosystems are strongly regulated by top-down control. This is particularly true of shallow macrophyte communities, where habitat structuring is heavily dependent on the ability of predators to control populations of herbivorous sea urchins. Released from predation pressure, urchins can quickly transform macroalgal ecosystems to unproductive barrens. While temperate seagrasses are less dramatically affected, top-down processes still play critical roles in mediating trophic interactions and habitat structure. There has been considerable attention paid to understanding the role predator numbers (mostly fish) play in influencing the strength of predator-prey interactions in macrophyte communities.
