Abstract Background The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a Laminariales species widely
distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. Its physiology and ecology have been studied since …

Breeding has played an important role in the mariculture and industrialization of kelp in
China. However, the current kelp breeding systems in China have encountered some …

Background and aims Kelp forests underpin temperate marine ecosystems but are declining
due to ocean warming, causing loss of associated ecosystem services. Projections suggest …

Thermal characteristics of kelp species have been studied in many ways, but potentially
persistent effects of temperature across generations are yet poorly understood. In this …

In most organisms, 3D growth takes place at the onset of embryogenesis. In some brown
algae, 3D growth occurs later in development, when the organism consists of several …

Seaweed aquaculture is gaining traction globally as a solution to many climate issues.
However, seaweeds themselves are also under threat of anthropogenically driven climate …

Kelp forests are productive and biodiverse ecosystems with high ecological, cultural, and
economic importance. However, the high sensitivity of kelp to water temperature means that …

Understanding the scope of local adaptation is critical to the definition of restoration
strategies as it may affect individuals used as breeders or transplants. The assessment of …
