Reproductive Allocation of the Habitat-Forming Intertidal Macroalga <i>Ascophyllum nodosum</i> Decreases at Its Northern Distribution Edge. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAscophyllum nodosum is predicted to expand its northern distribution in the sub‐Arctic, but its reproduction has never been assessed at such high latitudes. This study analyzed the reproductive allocation and phenology of A. nodosum at its northern distribution limit in Greenland in comparison with populations across its geographical distribution and ...

Seaweed Extracts Improve Salinity Tolerance in Cereal Crops-A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractMeta‐analysis demonstrated that applying aqueous seaweed extract enhanced the shoot and root biomass under salinity stress conditions. Applying aqueous seaweed extract (0.2%–10%) effectively improved salinity tolerance, both 34.2–100 mM NaCl and 101–400 mM NaCl equivalent salinity stress.
