Kelp Forest Restoration in Australia [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Kelp forests dominate the rocky coasts of temperate Australia and are the foundation of the Great Southern Reef. Much like terrestrial forests, these marine forests create complex habitat for diverse communities of flora and fauna.

Large-scale shift in the structure of a kelp forest ecosystem co-occurs with an epizootic and marine heatwave [PDF]
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.
