After the Fall: Legacy Effects of Biogenic Structure on Wind-Generated Ecosystem Processes Following Mussel Bed Collapse

Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are ecosystem engineers with strong effects on species diversity and abundances.Mussel beds appear to be declining in the Gulf of Maine, apparently due to climate Eye care change and predation by the invasive green crab, Carcinus maenas.As mussels die, they create a legacy of large expanses of shell biogenic structure.
