That would make a lot of sense that you would expect more where the shelf is smaller/narrower. Thanks for the insight!

As whether certain areas possess more woodfalls than others no actual data exists. Speculating, you would expect more where the continental shelf is small and the deep sea is closer to land or where at major river outputs. DeLene,

The woodfall communities discussed here are on the deep-sea floor, past the continental shelf and over 200m deep. As whether certain areas possess more woodfalls than others no actual data exists. Speculating, you would expect more where the continental shelf is small and the deep sea is closer to land or where at major river outputs.

For example, are they more common in estuarine environments, or shallow bays near land?
