Kelp forests represent some of the most diverse and productive habitats on Earth, and
provide a range of ecosystem goods and services on which human populations depend. As …

The interaction of gradual climate trends and extreme weather events since the turn of the
century has triggered complex and, in some cases, catastrophic ecological responses …

Ecosystem reconfigurations arising from climate-driven changes in species distributions are
expected to have profound ecological, social, and economic implications. Here we reveal a …

Kelp forests are structurally complex habitats, which provide valuable services along 25% of
the world's coastlines. Globally, many kelp forests have disappeared and been replaced by …

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 …

Kelps are ecologically important primary producers and ecosystem engineers, and play a
central role in structuring nearshore temperate habitats. They play an important role in …

Early naturalists suggested that predation intensity increases toward the tropics, affecting
fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes by latitude, but empirical support is still …

Detailed research has documented gradual changes to biological communities attributed to
increases in global average temperatures. However, localized and abrupt temperature …

Recent increases in the frequency of Extreme Climate Events (ECEs) such as heatwaves
and floods have been attributed to climate change, and could have pronounced ecosystem …

Extreme climatic events, such as heat waves, are predicted to increase in frequency and
magnitude as a consequence of global warming but their ecological effects are poorly …
