Marine macroalgae, the main primary producers in coastal waters, play important roles in
the fishery industry and global carbon cycles. With progressive ocean global changes …

Seaweed assemblages represent the dominant autotrophic biomass in many coastal
environments, playing a central structural and functional role in several ecosystems. In …

Foundation species, such as trees, corals, grasses, oysters, and rockweeds, must be
common and abundant to effectively modify the physical environment and increase …

Climate change is driving the redistribution of species at a global scale and documenting
and predicting species' responses to warming is a principal focus of contemporary ecology …

Abstract The North‐Atlantic has warmed faster than all other ocean basins and climate
change scenarios predict sea surface temperature isotherms to shift up to 600 km …

Canopy-forming seaweeds sustain critical ecosystem services in coastal habitats. Around
the world, many of these seaweeds are suffering strong declines, mainly attributed to the …

The loss of marine foundation species, in particular kelps at temperate latitudes, has been
linked to climatic drivers and co‐occurring human perturbations. Ocean temperature and …

Abstract The EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) requires that Good
Environmental Status (GEnS), is achieved for European seas by 2020. These may deviate …

Marine macroalgae are ecologically and economically important primary producers, being
adjacent to human living areas and playing key roles in coastal carbon cycles. They are …

Species distribution models (SDM) are a useful tool for predicting species range shifts in
response to global warming. However, they do not explore the mechanisms underlying …
