Trends in the effects of kelp removal on kelp populations, herbivores, and understory algae
Global Ecology and ConservationKelp forests provide habitat and resources to diverse organisms and provide valuable ecosystem services. However, marine deforestation due to wild kelp harvesting, among other drivers, is being observed worldwide.

Is bull‐kelp kelp? The role of common names in science [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2012 Abstract Common names are non‐specific by definition, and scientists should naturally avoid placing strict rules on their usage. There are many examples of common names applying to numerous, often only distantly related taxa, yet the term ‘kelp’ is increasingly being used to refer solely to members of the macroalgal order Laminariales,

Recruitment as a possible indicator of declining resilience in degraded kelp forests
Ecological IndicatorsKelp forests are critical marine ecosystems that provide habitat and ecological services, as well as economic benefits. However, kelp forests worldwide are facing multiple pressures, including climate change and human activities.

An Automated Method for Mapping Giant Kelp Canopy Dynamics from UAV
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Satellite and aerial imagery have been used extensively for mapping the abundance and distribution of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in southern California. There is now great potential for using unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) to map kelp canopy at

Kelp Forest Distribution in the Nordic Region
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Kelp forests are productive coastal ecosystems that provide a range of ecosystem services. Mapping the distribution and area occupied by kelp forests is a critical step to identify their ecosystem functions and services, including their role in the ...
