Biodiversity mediates top–down control in eelgrass ecosystems: a global comparative‐experimental approach

Nutrient pollution and reduced grazing each can stimulate algal blooms as shown by numerous experiments. But because experiments rarely incorporate natural variation in environmental factors and biodiversity, conditions determining the relative strength of bottom–up and top–down forcing remain unres...
