The longer the better: the effect of substrate on sessile biota in Arctic kelp forests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Polar Biology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00300-018-2263-z
Abstract: Kelps are ecosystem engineers and thus enhance biodiversity and subsidize food webs in nearshore areas. Numerous studies describing diversity and abundance of biota associated with kelp have focused on sub-tropical and temperate waters while kelp… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apgeog.2020.102230
Abstract: Abstract The quantification of kelp forest distribution across space and time is critical to support decision-makers responsible for habitat management and conservation. Spatial data such as aerial photos and satellite imagery are key for deriving… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2103483119
Abstract: Significance Kelp forests are declining worldwide due to varied combinations of environmental change and the trophic downgrading of urchin-controlling predators. These processes have increased the frequency and extent of rapid, nonlinear shifts to so-called urchin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0279200
Abstract: The kelp forests of southern Patagonia have a large diversity of habitats, with remote islands, archipelagos, peninsulas, gulfs, channels, and fjords, which are comprised of a mixture of species with temperate and sub-Antarctic distributions, creating… read more here.

Deep Penetration of Kelps Offshore Along the West Coast of Greenland
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Frontiers in Marine Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00375
Abstract: Until recently, Arctic kelp forests were so understudied that they did not even appear in global kelp forest maps. An increasing focus on Arctic coastal ecosystems has documented extended kelp forests along Arctic coastlines but… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d10040117
Abstract: All marine communities in Greenland are experiencing rapid environmental change, and to understand the effects on those structured by seaweeds, baseline records are vital. The kelp and coralline algae habitats along Greenland’s coastlines are rarely… read more here.

Coastal fish assemblages and predation pressure in northern-central Chilean Lessonia trabeculata kelp forests and barren grounds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6964
Abstract: Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the globe, which can lead to the spreading of barren grounds. Increased abundances of grazers, mainly due to reduction of their predators, are among the causes of… read more here.
