Impacts of climate change in a global hotspot for temperate marine biodiversity and ocean warming (2011, background): “…control (i.e. within the East Australian Current), change in consumer abundance has strong effects on kelp loss (i.e. kelps-to-barrens, Andrew, 1991; Ling and Johnson, 2009) and concerns for kelp persistence focuses on recruitment and fishing of consumers and their predators (Ling et al., 2009b).”
Climate change cascades: Shifts in oceanography, species' ranges and subtidal marine community dynamics in eastern Tasmania (2011, background): “There is now strong evidence that the barrens forming sea urchin C. rodgersii has undergone a poleward range expansion from New South Wales to Tasmania over the past ~ 40 years (Johnson et al., 2005; Ling et al., 2008, 2009b).”
