✨🌱NEW PAPER!🌊✨ Do seaweed farms provide habitats for epibionts that compare to wild kelps or mussel farms? 🦐👩‍🌾🏡 It's available open access in @JAPhycology here: doi.org/10.1007/s10811…

Check out our new paper Marine Policy where we update the state of the science regarding existing blue carbon pathways and explore emerging blue carbon opportunities. A great collaborative effort led by Jennifer Howard BlueCarbonInitiative Conservation Intl sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excited to share my paper from my MRes Thesis on the effect of #marineheatwaves🔥 on physiological tipping points of two habitat-forming #kelp species in the south-west UK🌊🌱 Check it out! 🤩 academic.oup.com/aob/advance-ar… Dan Smale Nathan King MBA - Marine Biological Association

📣➡️ NEW PAPER ⬅️🌊🌱 Excited to share the publication of our Annals of Botany paper on the pseudo #kelp #Saccorhiza polyschides, covering its population dynamics and morphology in the Western English Channel (SW of England) situated in a #biogeographic transition zone. (🧵 1/5)

Delighted to share our paper describing structure and diversity of holdfast/understorey assemblages associated with kelp Eisenia cokeri in Peru. High species richness and vital habitat forming species. Great collab between 🇵🇪 & 🇨🇱 & 🇬🇧 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Can seaweed farming lead to climate change mitigation?🌿🌊Seaweed farming is increasingly considered as an important strategy for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). But how much carbon do seaweed farms currently remove? Let's unravel the findings! 🧵👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share my first PhD publication in @AnnBot. We found that detrital photosynthesis is a key determinant of #kelp detrital dynamics and is more sensitive to elevated temperature than expected: doi.org/10.1093/aob/mc…. School of Biological Sciences, UWA @UWAOceans Forrest Foundation

So happy to share my first paper!! The endemic kelp Lessonia corrugata is being pushed above its thermal limits in an ocean warming hotspot. #OpenAccess @ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jp…

Our new review is out! Thanks to the wonderful team (Malu and Jasmin!). The beautiful drawings were made by Jasmin Scholl We appreciate the pictures of Eisenia shared by @BugSalome Roberto A Uribe and many others. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Marine forests are powerful carbon sinks! Our recent collaborative study shows they export 15% of their production to the deep ocean, sequestering 4-44 Tg of carbon annually. Protecting them is crucial for climate mitigation and biodiversity. Read more: biodiversitydatascience.com/seaweed-forest…

Our new study published today in Nature Communications examined links between marine heatwaves (MHWs) and the health of foundation species (corals, kelps, seagrass) across the global coastal ocean rdcu.be/dKHfN (1/n)

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 What is the #BlueCarbon potential of #seaweedfarming in the UK? 🌱🌊🧑‍🌾🚜 Here we explore how much carbon farmed #sugarkelp captures, releases and sequesters! check out the OA article via ➡️➡️ link.springer.com/10.1007/s10811… MBA - Marine Biological Association NCL Marine

Great to see this out! Fantastic collaborative work with algal #holobiont researchers around the world! Thanks to the The Royal Society #chemicalecology #seaweeds Plymouth Marine Lab

Why are the impacts of #climatechange so variable? Excited to share our new review paper in Global Change Biology which explores the role of local environmental variation in mediating the impacts of extreme marine heatwaves UWA Research Forrest Foundation onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

On the cover of our #LatestIssue: A dense kelp forest dominated by Laminaria hyperborea at around 15 m depth in Orkney, Scotland. 📖 See @dansmale1 & King: doi.org/10.1111/nph.20…

Check out our Editorial for a new virtual issue in New Phytologist in which we pull together recent papers on "Marine macrophytes in a changing world: mechanisms underpinning responses and resilience to environmental stress" #seaweed #kelp #marinebiology nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Detailed demographic studies of marine foundation species are needed, esp at species range edges, to understand responses to warming and other changes. In our new ms we quantified popn structure of Laminaria ochroleuca at leading range edge in SW UK. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Super stoked my 1st paper as lead author is out OA! 🥳 Depth reduces yield of farmed sugar kelp, but increased yield of non target macroalgae which could be an opportunity for farmers 🌱💙 search.app/ZDpYCS63e7sSZL…
