Experimental Disturbance-Induced Shifts in Benthic Functional Diversity: the importance of marine protected areas in soft-bottom ecosystems

Kasper J. Meijer, Oscar Franken, Laura L. Govers…·Han Olff

This study shows that even light trawling impacts functional diversity and community assembly in MPAs, while taxonomic diversity remains unaffected, highlighting the importance of MPAs in protecting sensitive species.
