Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Kelp forests dominate autotrophic biomass and primary productivity of approximately 30,000 to 60,000 km of shallow temperate and Arctic rocky reef coastline globally and contribute significantly to carbon cycling in the coastal ocean.

Functional Insights into the Kelp Microbiome from Metagenome-Assembled Genomes
mSystems, 2022 Eukaryotic organisms evolved in a microbial world and often have intimate associations with diverse bacterial groups. Kelp, brown macroalgae in the order Laminariales, play a vital role in coastal ecosystems, yet we know little about the functional role ...

Journal of Phycology, 2023 AbstractCulturing kelps for commercial, conservation, and scientific purposes is becoming increasingly widespread. However, kelp aquaculture methods are typically designed for ocean‐based farms, and these methods may not be applicable for smaller scale cultivation efforts common in research and restoration.

Marine heat wave and multiple stressors tip bull kelp forest to sea urchin barrens. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractExtreme climatic events have recently impacted marine ecosystems around the world, including foundation species such as corals and kelps. Here, we describe the rapid climate-driven catastrophic shift in 2014 from a previously robust kelp forest to unproductive large scale urchin barrens in northern California.

Communications Biology, 2021 Meredith McPherson et al. use a 34-year time series of satellite and in situ derived data to study bull kelp forests of northern California and demonstrate the ecosystem shifts following a marine heatwave event between 2014 and 2016.

Remote Sensing, 2022 Kelp forests are commonly classified within remote sensing imagery by contrasting the high reflectance in the near-infrared spectral region of kelp canopy floating at the surface with the low reflectance in the same spectral region of water.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Globally, kelp forests are threatened by multiple stressors, including increasing grazing by sea urchins. With coastal upwelling predicted to increase in intensity and duration in the future, understanding whether kelp forest and urchin barren urchins ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Kelp forest declines have been linked to warming ocean temperatures worldwide. Ocean warming rarely occurs in isolation, so multiple stressor studies are necessary to understand the physiological responses of kelp to climate change.

Pacific Arts, 2022 As a Trawlwoolway artist from Trouwunna, also known as Tasmania, I seek to challenge Western constructs of Australian colonial histories. I work to liberate Palawa cultural objects from their hidden status, often combining them with Western manufactured ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Surface-canopy forming kelps provide the foundation for ecosystems that are ecologically, culturally, and economically important. However, these kelp forests are naturally dynamic systems that are also threatened by a range of global and local pressures.
