The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “It has 320 been shown that macrofaunal density on epiphytic red algae is higher on structurally complex 321 species (e.g. Rhodomela spp. and Ptilota gunneri) than those with simple, smooth surfaces (e.g. 322 Palmaria palmata; Christie et al., 2009; also see Schmidt and Scheibling, 2006).”
Multi-trophic consequences of kelp harvest. (2010, background): “…further, together with the effect on other marine top-predators such as e.g. black guillemots (Cepphus grylle) and otters (Lutra lutra), which are confined to nearshore kelp-forested habitats all the year around (e.g. Cramp and Simmons, 1977; Kruuk et al., 1990; Reisewitz et al., 2006).”
Sea urchin barrens as alternative stable states of collapsed kelp ecosystems (2014, neutral): “Sea urchin barrens have much lower primary productivity and habitat structural complexity than kelp beds and consequently can be considered a collapse of the kelp state (Simenstad et al. 1978, Chapman & Johnson 1990, Sivertsen 1996, Graham 2004, Christie et al. 2009).”
Mariculture of the Asian kelp Undaria pinnatifida and the native kelp Saccharina latissima along the Atlantic coast of Southern Europe: An overview (2016, background): “Kelp farming, as with kelp forests [3,4], is expected to yield a significant environmental benefit by providing habitat and habitat resources for fauna and flora in coastal ecosystems.”
Coastal habitats and their importance for the diversity of benthic communities: A species- and trait-based approach (2019, neutral): “Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/ecss Coastal habitats and their importance for the diversity of benthic communities: A species- and trait-based approach Christina Henselera,∗, Marie C. Nordströma, Anna Törnroosa”
Seasonal Patterns of Sporophyte Growth, Fertility, Fouling, and Mortality of Saccharina latissima in Skagerrak, Norway: Implications for Forest Recovery (2011, background): “However, kelp forests serve key functions in the ecosystem as habitat builders and provide important feeding and nursery grounds for many invertebrate, mollusc, and fish species [6, 7].”
Large-scale shift from sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) to ephemeral algae along the south and west coast of Norway (2012, background): “Long-term ecosystem effects on higher trophic levels cascading up from a shift in macroalgal vegetation are not addressed in this study, but sugar kelp forests serve key functions in the ecosystem as habitat builders (Christie et al. 2009), and kelp in general provide important shelter, feeding and ”
