Integrated assessment of bioerosion, biocover and downwearing rates of carbonate rock shore platforms in southern Portugal

Bioerosion on rocky shores has been frequently reported as an important mechanism in coastal evolution, with less attention focussed on determining the bioprotective role organisms may have in mediating coastal erosion.
