- Description
Worldwide the upwelling of nutrient rich waters is a key environmental factor that influences the nature of marine food chains. The Galapagos Marine Reserve (GMR) is known for great spatial and temporal variation in upwelling and this supports a unique fauna in equatorial waters. It is known that differences in levels of upwelling (ie. High vs. Low) translates in the variation in benthic community structure...
