DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70024
Abstract: Rhodolith beds are biogenic marine habitats formed by aggregations of free‐living crustose coralline algae. New descriptions of rhodolith beds fill the gaps in our understanding of the global distribution and ecological significance of these understudied… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70045
Abstract: The calcareous matrix of rhodoliths can be composed of one or more crustose coralline algae (CCA) taxa as well as a mixed assemblage of various encrusting organisms. Studies on modern and fossil rhodoliths assume such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70149
Abstract: Rhodolith beds are ecologically important benthic habitats formed by coralline red algae, found across a wide range of latitudes and depths. They provide crucial ecosystem services, including climate change mitigation and biodiversity support, yet remain… read more here.
