Appendices

Appendix A: An image (Fig. A1a) showing a scanning electron micrograph of diatoms and cyanobacteria on rock surfaces in the intertidal and and image (Fig. A1b) of experimental shade canopies used to reduce insolation stress.
Ecological Archives E085-034-A1.

Appendix B: A table (Table B1) showing correlations of monthly values for photosynthetic biomass, diatoms, cyanobacteria, and limpet grazing intensity on the midshore at Port St Mary with physical, chemical, and biological regulators and an ANOVA table (Table B2) for factors affecting temporal and spatial patterns of photosynthetic epilithic microbial biomass.

Appendix C: In this appendix, we provide results from ANOVA for effects of experimental manipulation of shade, grazing, desiccation, and nutrient availability treatments on (Table C1) photosynthetic microbial biomass, (Table C2) abundance of diatoms and cyanobacteria, (Table C3) macroalgal germlings, and (Table C4) grazing intensity as well as ANOVA results (Tables C5 and C6) that compare shaded treatment, treatment without shade, and transparent Cryllex controls (providing a canopy structure without shading).
