• Tropicalisation of temperate reefs: Implications for ecosystem functions and management actions (2019, background): “Laminarian kelp often occur mixed with other temperate canopy‐forming seaweeds that play similar functional roles (Steneck & Johnson, 2013) and may present alternative targets for assisted adaptation.”
• Resistance, Extinction, and Everything in Between – The Diverse Responses of Seaweeds to Marine Heatwaves (2019, background): “Kelp forests, extensive reef systems dominated by large laminarian and fucalean seaweeds (Steneck and Johnson, 2013; Wernberg and Filbee-Dexter, 2019; Wernberg et al., 2019), are especially important for local communities as they directly modify the environment surrounding them and influence…”
• The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “507 Alongside temperature and nutrient availability, light defines where kelps, and in turn their 508 associated assemblages, can develop (Steneck and Johnson, 2013).”
• Physiological responses of habitat‐forming seaweeds to increasing temperatures (2016, background): “Kelps and fucoids are ecologically and socioeconomically important large brown seaweeds that are abundant in temperate reef ecosystems (Smale et al. 2013; Steneck and Johnson 2013; Bennett et al. 2016).”
• The 'Great Southern Reef': social, ecological and economic value of Australia's neglected kelp forests (2016, background): “Worldwide, where enough light penetrates to the seafloor, healthy temperate reefs are usually dominated by ‘kelp forests’ – highly productive, structurally complex communities of canopy-forming seaweeds of the orders Laminariales, Desmarestiales and Fucales (Bolton 2010; Steneck and Johnson 2013).”
