- Abstract:
- ... In shallow marine environments, wave-induced disturbance can have a major influence on species abundance and distribution patterns. Understanding how waves affect habitat engineers, such as macroalgae, is therefore important for understanding subtidal community dynamics. In this study a wave model (SWAN) was used to identify the spatial distribution of wave forces across the Wellington south coast ...

- Abstract:
- ... Ecklonia maxima dominates kelp beds on the west coast of southern Africa, and is commercially and ecologically valuable. Some plants lose all their secondary blades (fronds), leaving only the gas-filled bulb and short primary blade at the top of the stipe. These ‘bald’ kelps may persist for months or longer, occupying substratum space but contributing little to productivity. We investigated natura ...

- Abstract:
- ... Large brown seaweeds (kelps) form forests in temperate and boreal marine systems that serve as foundations to the structure and dynamics of communities. Mapping the distributions of these species is important to understanding the ecology of coastal environments, managing marine ecosystems (e.g., spatial planning), predicting consequences of climate change and the potential for carbon production. W ...
