Successful reproduction of marine mammals and large sea birds in the eastern Pacific depends heavily on seasonal upwelling that brings nutrients to the surface where they can fuel growth of the phytoplankton that feed zooplankton, that in turn feed fish.

Seagrass meadows rarely exhibit zonation of the dominant plant species because

Diversity of space-holding organisms decreases if the chief predator on the competitive dominant is removed
