The impacts of global climate change are threatening the health and integrity of New
Zealand's seaweed ecosystems that provide crucial ecological, economic, and cultural …

Abstract Background and Aims Kelp forests are increasingly considered blue carbon
habitats for ocean-based biological carbon dioxide removal, but knowledge gaps remain in …

Habitat complexity is one of the most important factors modulating species diversity. This
feature comprises several interrelated attributes, such as number, size, and spatial …

The southern coast of Africa is one of the few places in the world where water temperatures
are predicted to cool in the future. This endemism-rich coastline is home to two sister …

Rainfall events bring both, terrigenous materials (including DOM) and nutrients to the
aquatic system (eg, via riverine runoff) having potential effects on the structure and …

Browning and nutrient inputs from extreme rainfall, together with increased vertical mixing
due to strong winds, are more frequent in coastal ecosystems; however, their interactive …

Underwater light is essential for fuelling coastal productivity. However, elevated turbidity,
resulting from land-based activities and climate change, is often overlooked as a threat to …

Kelp forest declines have been linked to warming ocean temperatures worldwide. Ocean
warming rarely occurs in isolation, so multiple stressor studies are necessary to understand …

Kelp communities are experiencing exacerbated heat‐related impacts from more intense,
frequent, and deeper marine heatwaves (MHWs), imperiling the long‐term survival of kelp …

Coastal darkening is expected to have pervasive impacts on benthic primary producers.
However, the effects of nitrogen enrichment, an often-co-occurring stressor, on benthic …
