Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Carbon and nitrogen contents depends on macroalgal species, their tissue section, and development stage

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Assessing the potential for macroalgae to function as a carbon sink (blue carbon) and nitrogen (N) assimilation is under intensive investigation. The content of elemental carbon (C) and N in macroalgae is the best indicator of their potential; however, with respect to the thallus, C and N content varies in space and time.

Expert opinions regarding the concept of blue carbon in seaweed systems

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY A collection of expert opinions critically evaluates the role of seaweed in blue carbon strategies for climate change mitigation. While the concept of fast‐growing seaweed to capture atmospheric carbon is appealing, the experts largely agree that its potential for direct, long‐term carbon sequestration is currently overstated and faces ...

Description of four new species of marine macroalgae from Rangitāhua, New Zealand

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Four species of marine macroalgae are described from Rangitāhua, the northern islands of the New Zealand archipelago. The flora of this region has been considered to have its strongest affinities with other warm‐water regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, with very low levels of endemism.

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales

The impact of macroalgae on reef-building corals depends on their species, density, and contact status

Global Ecology and Conservation
Coral reefs are severely threatened by global and local disturbances that can shift reefs from coral to algal dominance. Coral-macroalgae competition is expected to exacerbate coral decline as the interactions increase in frequency.

Assisted recovery of tissue loss in massive corals Orbicella faveolata: an alternative conservation tool for restoring damaged colonies

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, vital for marine ecosystems and human well‐being, face drastic decline due to climate change effects. In the Caribbean, global disturbances and regional water pollution exacerbate conditions, eliciting disease outbreaks that, in synergy with coral bleaching and hurricanes, cause significant damage to key reef‐building

The Coral Larval Box “CoLaB”: a novel and low‐cost method for delivering competent coral larvae onto degraded reefs for restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reef restoration strategies are rapidly evolving to restore corals and reef functions in response to accelerating disturbances worldwide. One active restoration technique that is rapidly gaining momentum is the larval enhancement method which involves the introduction of cultured coral larvae directly onto degraded reefs ...

The role of substrate materials for the survival and growth of coral micro‐fragment sheets

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Biofouling can have a negative impact on the survival and growth of corals in aquaculture. For coral aquaculture to support reef restoration, there needs to be a cost‐effective and efficient method that reduces the reliance on labor for coral maintenance.

Deconstruction of Macroalgae:

, 2016
The goal of this collaborative project was to explore the feasibility of using macroalgae as a feedstock for biofuel. Specifically to focus on the conversion of macroalgae to biofuels or other valuable co-products which are low carbon, cost-effective, and sustainable.
