Temperature-buffering by oyster habitat provides temporal stability for rocky shore communities

Dominic McAfee et al.

Summary: The habitat formed by rock oysters can provide cool microclimates, allowing associated invertebrate communities to remain stable during periods of temperature change. Oyster habitats consistently have lower maximum temperatures and greater thermal stability compared to bare rock habitats.

The bioprotective properties of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) on intertidal rocky shore platforms

Timothy I. I. Baxter et al.

Summary: This study examines the potential role of blue mussels as biogeomorphic agents in the weathering and erosion processes of rocky coasts. The results show that mussel beds can reduce the surface temperature and hardness of rocks, resulting in a decrease in rock breakdown efficiency and turbulence. Although the effects of mussels are relatively small compared to other species, their dominance at certain tidal heights makes them locally important geomorphic agents in rocky shores.

Moisture Interactions Between Mosses and Their Underlying Stone Substrates

Katherine Jang et al.

Summary: Research has shown that mosses have an impact on water uptake and retention on mortar and limestone, potentially protecting the substrate from light rainfall events. In certain cases, removing mosses may have a greater impact on moisture regimes than leaving them in situ.

Managing Marine Growth on Historic Maritime Structures: An Assessment of Perceptions and Current Management Practices

Timothy Baxter et al.

Summary: This study assesses the perception and management of marine growth by those responsible for maintaining maritime built heritage. The results show that attitudes towards marine growth are generally positive, but concerns exist regarding its impacts on maintenance and safety. The study highlights opportunities for integrated biodiversity and built heritage conservation, but further research is needed to address potential barriers and conflicts in practice.

Enhanced Weathering and Erosion of a Cohesive Shore Platform Following the Experimental Removal of Mussels

Juliana A. Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The research found that mussel cover can mitigate temperature fluctuations on the platform surface, enhance moisture retention during high tide, reduce salt crystallization rates within the pores of the platform material, and diminish hydrodynamic forces on the platform surface. Mussel removal resulted in a 10% decrease in surface hardness and a 2mm reduction in platform height after 5 months. Overall, the study indicates that mussel beds limit substrate breakdown through various processes and provides some of the first experimental field evidence for the direct impacts of biotic cover on platform erosion.
