Tidepools are a potentially significant component of the rocky intertidal environment because they provide a refuge from extreme environmental fluctuations and, therefore, extend the vertical limits of the biological assemblages that inhabit this environment.
Tidepools are potentially useful systems in which to test general ecological theories because they have well-defined boundaries and can be relatively easily manipulated.
Microalgae are important primary producers that are introduced into tidepools through tidal input; over the period of isolation of the pool, they can remain suspended, sink to the bottom of the pool and/or be consumed by filter-feeders or benthic grazers.
