Opportunistic Macroalgae as a Component in Assessment of Eutrophication
For the last few decades, coastal eutrophication with the associated mass development of opportunistic macroalgae has increased on a global scale. Since the end of the 2000’s, the number of studies of macroalgal blooms also increased many times.

Evolution of the Fucaceae (Phaeophyceae) inferred from nrDNA-ITS [PDF]
Sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS-1, 5.8S, and ITS-2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA were obtained from 16 species representing all six genera of Fucaceae (Ascophyllum, Fucus, Hesperophycus, Pelvetia, Pelvetiopsis, and Xiphophora) plus ...

Temporal and spatial variation in the morphology of the brown macroalga Hormosira banksii (Fucales, Phaeophyta) [PDF]
Hormosira banksii is a morphologically variable macroalgal species from southeastern and southern Australia, which has been previously categorised into ecoforms according to habitat.

Interspecific variation in total phenolic content in temperate brown algae
Marine algae synthesize secondary metabolites such as polyphenols that function as defense and protection mechanisms. Among brown algae, Fucales and Dictyotales (Phaeophyceae) contain the highest levels of phenolic compounds, mainly phlorotannins, that ...

Seaweed Habitats on the Shore: Characterization through Hyperspectral UAV Imagery and Field Sampling
Intertidal macroalgal habitats are major components of temperate coastal ecosystems. Their distribution was studied using field sampling and hyperspectral remote mapping on a rocky shore of Porspoder (western Brittany, France).

Abstract Although macroalgae are gaining recognition for their potential role in marine carbon sequestration, critical knowledge gaps related to the fate of macroalgal carbon limit our capacity to quantify rates of macroalgal carbon sequestration.

Sargassaceae, the most abundant family in Fucales, was recently formed through the merging of the two former families Sargassaceae and Cystoseiraceae. It is widely distributed in the world’s oceans, notably in tropical coastal regions, with the exception

Are we ready for scaling up restoration actions? An insight from Mediterranean macroalgal canopies [PDF]
Extensive loss of macroalgal forests advocates for large-scale restoration interventions, to compensate habitat degradation and recover the associated ecological functions and services.

Macroalgae detritus decomposition and cross‐shelf carbon export from shallow and deep reefs
Abstract Macroalgal forests have been suggested to export substantial amounts of carbon to deep ocean sinks and could account for 27–34% of annual blue carbon sequestered in Australia. However, a major knowledge gap concerns how carbon in the detrital tissue of the dominant seaweed species is remineralized as it is exported offshore.
