Kelps and corraline algae can be found along the lower intertidal and subtidal zones. ? The lower intertidal is dominated by seaweeds. The first stage of ecological succession in the rocky intertidal is the establishment of bacteria and microscopic algae. Green, brown and red algae on the upper intertidal are able to fix nitrogen from the air. The effect of a keystone species can easily be judged by how abundant it is.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would typically be used to describe a biome? carrying capacity & growth rate density & dispersion temperature & precipitation species diversity & trophic structurearrow_forward
