Biomarkers of recovery: Characterizing trophic flow following ecological restoration

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Fatty acid biomarkers offer a scalable tool for detecting early trophic recovery, identifying high‐leverage depth strata for intervention, and evaluating whether restoration actions are rebuilding the ecosystem functions and fisheries‐relevant nutritional pathways that support resilient kelp forest ecosystems.

Communities and Attachment Networks Associated with Primary, Secondary and Alternative Foundation Species; A Case Study of Stressed and Disturbed Stands of Southern Bull Kelp

Diversity, 2019
Southern bull kelps (Durvillaea spp., Fucales) are ‘primary’ foundation species that control community structures and ecosystem functions on temperate wave-exposed rocky reefs.

Passive remote sensing technology for mapping bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana): A review of techniques and regional case study

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
The distribution and abundance of the canopy-forming kelp Nereocystis luetkeana is of increasing concern for environmental management and conservation in coastal regions due to its importance as a foundation species.

Contemporary habitat discontinuity and historic glacial ice drive genetic divergence in Chilean kelp

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background South America's western coastline, extending in a near-straight line across some 35 latitudinal degrees, presents an elegant setting for assessing both contemporary and historic influences on cladogenesis in the marine environment.

Under pressure : biomechanics of buoyancy in Bull Kelp (Nereocystis leutkeana)

, 2016
Maintaining buoyancy with pneumatocysts is essential for subtidal seaweeds with long flexible thalli, such as Nereocystis luetkeana (Nereocystis), to achieve an upright stature and compete for light. However, as Nereocystis grows, pneumatocysts are exposed to significant changes in hydrostatic pressure.

Elliott Bay Marina Breakwater Bull Kelp Restoration: Surviving in an Urban Environment as Kelp Beds Decline throughout Puget Sound

, 2017
Extensive subtidal canopy beds of bull kelp, Nereocystis luetkeana, have diminished throughout Puget Sound over the past three decades. The Suquamish Tribe partnered with the Puget Sound Restoration Fund to investigate methods to restore bull kelp to ...

Differences in stressor intensity and plant condition in South Puget Sound bull kelp forests

, 2020
The shorelines of British Columbia and Washington support more than 20 species of kelp, which create critical biogenic habitat. Within the majority of the Salish Sea, bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) is the sole kelp species that forms a floating canopy.

Habitat‐Forming Macroalgae Show Greater Resilience to Marine Heatwaves Than Models Predict, Yet Chronic Ocean Warming Remains Poised to Deliver Considerable Future Declines

Ecology and Evolution
Temperate macroalgal forests globally have undergone climate‐induced range contractions and localised extinctions in response to warming and marine heatwaves, with further significant losses projected to occur.

The Effect of Differential Flow Speeds and Kelp Morphology on Membranipora membranacea Settlement

, 2021
Kelp provides important habitats for a large variety of organisms such as epiphytic bryozoans. The relationship between the bryozoan and their kelp substrate is influenced by biological, chemical, and physical factors.
