Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows–some of the
most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems …

Marine macroalgae, the main primary producers in coastal waters, play important roles in
the fishery industry and global carbon cycles. With progressive ocean global changes …

Recent results continue to show the general consensus that ozone-related increases in UV-
B radiation can negatively influence many aquatic species and aquatic ecosystems (eg …

Stratospheric ozone depletion and the concomitant increase in irradiance of ultraviolet-B
radiation (UVB) at the earth's surface represent major threats to terrestrial and aquatic …

Ultraviolet‐B (UVB) radiation is a global stressor with potentially far‐reaching ecological
impacts. In the first quantitative analysis of the effects of UVB on aquatic organisms, we used …

To cope with the biotic and abiotic stresses experienced within their environment, marine
macroalgae have developed certain defence mechanisms including the synthesis of photo …

Marine macroalgae are ecologically and economically important primary producers, being
adjacent to human living areas and playing key roles in coastal carbon cycles. They are …

Rising atmospheric CO 2 is expected to increase global temperatures and partial pressure
of CO 2 in surface waters, causing ocean warming and acidification. These changes may …

This review surveys whatever little is known on the influence of different environmental
factors like light, temperature, nutrients, chemicals (such as plant hormones, vitamins, etc.) …

Intertidal seaweeds inhabit an inherently stressful environment with rapidly changing
physical conditions with the turning tides. Many macroalgae are therefore very resistant to …
