Anthropogenic environmental changes, or 'stressors', increasingly threaten biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning worldwide. Multiple-stressor research is a rapidly expanding field of …

Coastal zones, the world's most densely populated regions, are increasingly threatened by
climate change stressors—rising and warming seas, intensifying storms and droughts, and …

Kelp forests (Order Laminariales) form key biogenic habitats in coastal regions of temperate
and Arctic seas worldwide, providing ecosystem services valued in the range of billions of …

Interactions between multiple ecosystem stressors are expected to jeopardize biological
processes, functions and biodiversity. The scientific community has declared stressor …

Habitat-forming species sustain biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in harsh
environments through the amelioration of physical stress. Nonetheless, their role in shaping …

Kelp and macroalgal forests provide the ecological foundations of many temperate rocky
reef ecosystems, but have regionally declined, often due to sea urchin overgrazing and the …

Macroalgal forests characterised by species of the genus Cystoseira sensu lato form
important shallow coastal rocky habitats in the Mediterranean Sea. These forests support a …

The intensity and frequency of climate-driven disturbances are increasing in coastal marine
ecosystems. Understanding the factors that enhance or inhibit ecosystem resilience to …

Canopy-forming seaweed species of the genus Cystoseira form diverse and productive
habitats along temperate rocky coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. Despite numerous studies …

Climate driven range shifts are driving the redistribution of marine species and threatening
the functioning and stability of marine ecosystems. For species that are the structural basis of …
