Physical disturbance and subtidal habitat structure on open rocky coasts: Effects of wave exposure, extent and intensity (2008, background): “Kelp recruits, in contrast, may be more robust; calculations have shown that dislodgment forces of Ecklonia recruits are 2–5 times greater than the drag forces they normally encounter in exposed shallow subtidal environments (Thomsen et al., 2004).”
Hurricane-mediated defoliation of kelp beds and pulsed delivery of kelp detritus to offshore sedimentary habitats (2012, background): “…are morphologically adapted to high wave forces and are more firmly attached by their holdfast at exposed sites (e.g. Splitnose Point) than at more protected areas (Gerard & Mann 1979, Thomsen et al. 2004), which may lower the risk of dislodgement in exposed areas, despite greater wave forces.”
The effect of wave exposure on the morphology of Ecklonia radiata (2005, background): “…E. radiata in Western Australia have shown that in more than 70% of the cases, the predominant limestone reefs will break before the kelp tissues (Thomsen et al., 2004) and, therefore, selective pressures may not be strong at the tissue level, potentially explaining the weak response in these…”
Impacts of climate change in a global hotspot for temperate marine biodiversity and ocean warming (2011, background): “disturbance on most coasts (e.g. localised loss of seaweed canopies, Seymour et al., 1989; Thomsen et al., 2004) which could be of great”
Can macroalgae contribute to blue carbon? An Australian perspective (2015, background): “Seasonality in alternation of generations, fragmentation and dislodgment (Thomsen et al. 2004; McKenzie and Bellgrove 2009; Krumhansl et al. 2011) of macroalgae all contribute to high turnover of macroalgal biomass.”
Spatial predictive distribution modelling of the kelp species Laminaria hyperborea. (2009, background): “through drag (Thomsen et al., 2004), moving algal fronds maximizing the area to trap light and maintaining a high nutrient flux (Lobban and Harrison, 1994).”
The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “…or thinning (e.g. by grazing; Bulleri 628 and Benedetti-Cecchi, 2006; Ling, 2008; or localised warming events; Smale and Wernberg, 2013; 629 storms; Thomsen et al., 2004; Wernberg et al., 2013), and experimentally by in situ removal 630 experiments (Clark et al., 2004; Flukes et al., 2014; Hawkins…”
