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 the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent Atlantic coast. This species group is sensitive to human pressures and therefore is 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 Alboran Sea. The results showed the absence of significant effects of anthropogenic pressures or its interactions with environmental conditions 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 of the variability occurred on at local levels. A relevant spatial variability was observed at regional level, suggesting a key role of oceanographic features in these assemblages. 2024-02-02T07:27:20Z 2024-02-02T07:27:20Z 2016 journal article Bermejo, Ricardo, Gina de la Fuente, Eduardo Ramírez-Romero, Juan J Vergara, and Ignacio Hernández. 2016. “Spatial Variability and Response to Anthropogenic Pressures of Assemblages Dominated by a Habitat Forming Seaweed Sensitive to Pollution (Northern Coast of Alboran Sea).” Marine Pollution Bulletin 105 (1): 255–64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2016.02.017 https://hdl.handle.net/10630/29658 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2016.02.017. eng metadata only access Elsevier
