Port construction increases community variability without directional change in adjacent rocky intertidal communities: a BACI analysis from eastern Hokkaido, Japan.

Coastal infrastructure such as ports and breakwaters can substantially alter hydrodynamic conditions, yet their long-term ecological consequences for adjacent natural habitats remain poorly understood. Here, we used a long-term before-after-control-impact (BACI) design to evaluate the effects of port construction on ro...
