Although seagrasses and marine macroalgae (macro‐autotrophs) play critical ecological
roles in reef, lagoon, coastal and open‐water ecosystems, their response to ocean …

Seaweeds are ecologically important primary producers, competitors, and ecosystem
engineers that play a central role in coastal habitats ranging from kelp forests to coral reefs …

The largest seaweed, giant kelp (Macrocystis) is the fastest growing and most prolific of all
plants found on earth. Growing from the seafloor and extending along the ocean surface in …

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 …

Globally, China has the largest scale of kelp cultivation and production operations. However,
its kelp aquaculture industry is suffering from declining germplasm diversity, degradation of …

Predicting consequences of ocean deoxygenation and ocean acidification for nearshore
marine ecosystems requires baseline dissolved oxygen (DO) and carbonate chemistry data …

The incidence and severity of extraordinary macroalgae blooms (green tides) are
increasing. Here, climate change (ocean warming and acidification) impacts on life history …

Kelp forests are ecologically diverse habitats that provide vast ecosystem goods and
services, but are threatened by climate and anthropogenic stressors. Laminarian kelps have …

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 …

As the oceans absorb anthropogenic CO2 they become more acidic, a problem termed
