Kelp forests are in decline across much of their range due to place‐specific combinations of
local and global stressors. Declines in kelp abundance can lead to cascading losses of …

Kelp forests along temperate and polar coastlines represent some of most diverse and
productive habitats on the Earth. Here, we synthesize information from> 60 years of research …

Kelp forests are extensive underwater habitats that range along 25% of the world's
coastlines, providing valuable resources, habitat, and services for coastal communities …

Kelp forests are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, but they are increasingly
being degraded and lost due to a range of human‐related stressors, leading to recent calls …

Kelp forests are phyletically diverse, structurally complex and highly productive components
of coldwater rocky marine coastlines. This paper reviews the conditions in which kelp forests …

[Extract] Kelp forests dominate shallow rocky coasts of the world's cold-water marine
habitats. They are comprised primarily of brown algae in the order Laminariales and …

Aim Kelp forests worldwide are important marine ecosystems that foster high primary to
secondary productivity and multiple ecosystem services. These ecosystems are increasingly …

Kelp forests form an important biogenic habitat that responds to natural and human drivers.
Global concerns exist about threats to kelp forests, yet long-term information is limited and …

Kelp species are ecosystem engineers in temperate coasts, where they provide valuable
services to humans. Evidence of the declines of kelp forests exists from several regions, but …

Kelp forests dominate the rocky coasts of temperate Australia and are the foundation of the
Great Southern Reef. Much like terrestrial forests, these marine forests create complex …
