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 …

The role of marine primary producers in capturing atmospheric CO2 has received increased
attention in the global mission to mitigate climate change. Yet, our understanding of carbon …

The flow of detritus between habitats is an important form of connectivity that affects regional
productivity and the spatial organization of marine ecosystems. Kelps form highly productive …

In this study, we investigate the maximum physical and biogeochemical potential of
macroalgae open-ocean mariculture and sinking (MOS) as an ocean-based carbon dioxide …

The potential contribution of kelp forests to blue carbon sinks is currently of great interest but
interspecific variance has received no attention. In the temperate Northeast Atlantic, kelp …

Severe storm events are important agents of disturbance that can transport large quantities
of algal detritus from highly productive kelp beds (or forests) in shallow water to deeper …

Kelps dominate rocky shores in temperate latitudes, acting as important foundation species.
Recently, kelp forests have received growing attention for their decline around the world …

The northeast Atlantic has warmed significantly since the early 1980s, leading to shifts in
species distributions and changes in the structure and functioning of communities and …

Abstract Background and Aims Changes in kelp abundances on regional scales have been
highly variable over the past half-century owing to strong effects of local and regional …

Marine macrophytes (macroalgae, seagrasses, and mangroves) comprise thousands of
species distributed in shallow water areas along the world's coastlines. They play a key role …
