AB The Cystoseira ericaefolia group is conformed by three species: C. tamariscifolia, C. mediterranea and C. amentacea.These species are among the most important habitat forming species of the upper sublittoral rocky shores of theMediterranean Sea and adjacent Atlantic coast. This species group is sensitive to human pressures and thereforeis currently suffering important losses. This study aimed to assess the influence of anthropogenic pressures,oceanographic conditions and local spatial variability in assemblages dominated by C. ericaefolia in the AlboranSea. The results showed the absence of significant effects of anthropogenic pressures or its interactions with environmentalconditions in the Cystoseira assemblages. This fact was attributed to the high spatial variability,which is most probably masking the impact of anthropogenic pressures. The results also showed that most ofthe variability occurred on at local levels. A relevant spatial variability was observed at regional level, suggestinga key role of oceanographic features in these assemblages.
