Community Ecology on Rocky Shores: Long-Term Research in the Subtidal Zone (Massachusetts, 1978-2001)

小行星9633815 温带岩石海岸的潮下带的特点是复杂的地形和海洋藻类和无脊椎动物区系的均匀分布。 该研究计划将继续长期研究物种之间的相互作用以及水运动对个体，种群 和 社区 过程 在 这些 区界限 调查幼虫扩散将涉及实地研究，实验室调查和大规模和小规模模式的建模相结合。 选择代表这一系统的模型是对为空间有限的社区开发的"细胞自动机"方法的一种调整。

9633815 SEBENS The subtidal zones of temperate rocky shores are characterized by complex topography and equally heterogeneous distributions of marine algae and invertebrate fauna. The program of research will serve to continue long-term studies on the interactions between species and the effects of water movement on individual, population and community processes in these zones. Investigations larval dispersal will involve a combination of field studies, laboratory investigations, and modelling of large and small scale patterns. The model chosen to represent this system is an adaptation of the `cellular automata' approach developed for space-limited communities.
