Coralline algae are globally distributed benthic primary producers that secrete calcium
carbonate skeletons. In the context of ocean acidification, they have received much recent …

Seaweed and seagrass communities in the northeast Atlantic have been profoundly
impacted by humans, and the rate of change is accelerating rapidly due to runaway CO 2 …

The aim of this book series is to disseminate information to the coastal research community.
The Series covers all aspects of coastal research including but not limited to relevant …

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 …

Coralline algae are expected to be adversely impacted by global warming and ocean
acidification, although there has been no synthesis of these effects on habitat-forming …

Macroalgae in mesophotic coral ecosystems are generally understudied compared to corals
and fishes yet may be more abundant than coral-dominated reefs given their lower depth …

Maerl beds worldwide face habitat destruction (eg from dredging, fishing gear and fish
farms), the combined pressures of ocean warming and acidification, and the spread of …

Rhodolith beds are benthic biogenic calcareous habitats formed by the aggregation of
unattached, non-geniculate coralline algae. They have a worldwide distribution and, due to …

Ocean warming (OW) and marine heatwaves (MHWs) rapidly transform marine ecosystems,
especially when they impact keystone or foundation species. Foundation species such as …

Crustose coralline algae (CCA: Corallinaceae, Rhodophyta) are ubiquitous components of
many benthic habitats and play a critical ecological role by contributing significantly to their …
