Marine foundation species are the biotic basis for many of the world's coastal ecosystems,
providing structural habitat, food, and protection for myriad plants and animals as well as …

The oceans take up over 1 million tons of anthropogenic CO2 per hour, increasing dissolved
p CO2 and decreasing seawater pH in a process called ocean acidification (OA). At the …

Global marine conservation remains fractured by an imbalance in research efforts and policy
actions, limiting progression towards sustainability. Rhodolith beds represent a prime …

Current evidence suggests that macroalgal-dominated habitats are important contributors to
the oceanic carbon cycle, though the role of those formed by calcifiers remains controversial …

Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to the persistence of biogenic reefs throughout the
world's ocean. Coralline algae are comprised of high magnesium calcite and have long …

Climate driven range shifts are driving the redistribution of marine species and threatening
the functioning and stability of marine ecosystems. For species that are the structural basis of …

Rhodolith beds are benthic biogenic calcareous habitats formed by the aggregation of
unattached, non-geniculate coralline algae. They have a worldwide distribution and, due to …

The oceans are taking up over one million tons of fossil CO 2 per hour, resulting in
increased p CO 2 and declining pH, leading to ocean acidification (OA). At the same time …

In this review we assess the state of knowledge for the coralline algae of the Mediterranean
Sea, a group of calcareous seaweeds imperfectly known and considered highly vulnerable …

Rhodolith beds are diverse and globally distributed habitats. Nonetheless, the role of
rhodoliths in structuring the associated species community through a hierarchy of positive …
