Mesoscale Spatial Patterns of Gulf of Maine Rocky Intertidal Communities
Caption
Rocky intertidal communities show a distinguishable grouping fitting two Gulf of Maine regions that separate at mid-coast Maine. This pattern is uniquely intertidal and not shown by subtidal species assemblages. Satellite-derived shore and sea surface temperatures explained a significant amount of the variation responsible for producing regional patterns. The regions correspond with the two principal branches of the Gulf of Maine Coastal Current [1].
