Habitat structure and biological characteristics of a maerl bed off the northeastern coast of the Maltese Islands (central Mediterranean) (2009, unknown): “Maerl sediments are characterized by accumulations of calcareous rhodophytes (mostly Corallinaceae but also Peyssonneliaceae), that form habitats with a high species diversity over broad geographical and depth ranges (Barberá et al. 2003; Foster 2001; Freiwald and Henrich 1994).”
Effect of temperature on photosynthesis, growth and calcification rates of the free-living coralline alga Lithophyllum margaritae (2007, background): “Growth rates reported here (0.83–5.02 mm yr–1) are among the highest recorded for unattached rhodoliths (review in Foster 2001), and those evaluated in the field represent a more accurate record of the overall calcification rate than those obtained in the laboratory since field experiments…”
Carbonate production by calcareous red algae and global change (2012, background): “…cold water benthic ecosystems (Pérès 1982; Bosence 1983a; Nelson 1988; Freiwald & Henrich 1994; Fornos & Ahr 1997; James & Clarke 1997; Basso 1998; Foster 2001; Bressan et al. 2001; toscano & Sorgente 2002; Gherardi 2004; Ballesteros 2006; toscano et al. 2006; Bracchi & Basso 2012; Savini et al.…”
Environmental tolerances of free-living coralline algae (maerl): implications for European marine conservation (2004, background): “The branched twig-like thalli lock together into a lattice which provides ecological niches for a diverse range of seaweed and invertebrate species, some of which may be confined to the maerl habitat (Keegan, 1974; Bosence, 1976; Foster, 2001; Steller et al., 2003).”
Diversity of carbon use strategies in a kelp forest community: implications for a high CO2 ocean (2011, background): “…rocky reefs covered by coralline crusts that provide the very foundation of temperate reefs worldwide (Lewis, 1964; Lüning, 1990; Friewald, 1993; Adey, 1998; Foster, 2001; Taylor & Wilson, 2002; Nelson, 2009) to fleshy and filamentous red macroalgae that currently have limited ecological roles.”
Community structure and food web based on stable isotopes (δ15N and δ13C) analysis of a North Eastern Atlantic maerl bed (2006, background): “Numerous studies have reported rare and unusual species living in association with maerl beds, which support a now recognized highly diversified fauna of hard and soft substratum species (Foster, 2002; BIOMAERL Team, 2003), some being of commercial importance (Steller et al.”
Rhodoliths and rhodolith beds (2013, background): “Once thought to be primarily subtropical, they are now known to occur from tropical to polar waters and from the low intertidal zone to 150 m deep (Bosence, 1983; Foster, 2001).”
Response of Mediterranean coralline algae to ocean acidification and elevated temperature (2009, background): “Their rigid structure contributes to the formation of numerous habitats such as Rhodolith beds (Foster, 2001) or coralligenous habitats (Ballesteros, 2006).”
Calcified macroalgae - critical to coastal ecosystems and vulnerable to change: a review (2009, background): “The largest beds that have been reported are on the Brazilian Shelf spanning the equator from 2◦N to 25◦S (Kempf 1970; Milliman 1977; Testa and Bosence 1999; Foster 2001; Amado-Filho et al. 2007; Figueiredo et al. 2007).”
Community ecology of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (2010, background): “Rhodolith beds are widely distributed in the world’s oceans including the tropics where they form large concentrations to depths of 150 m (Foster 2001) and can actively grow to 268 m (Littler et al.”
Maerl grounds provide both refuge and high growth potential for juvenile queen scallops (Aequipecten opercularis L.) (2004, unknown): “Maerl grounds (also known as drhodolith bedsT) (Foster, 2001) are composed of looselying, usually nongeniculated, coralline red algae (Giraud and Cabioch, 1976) and are found in areas characterised by high water movements (tidal and/or wave action) in the photic zone.”
Diversity and natural history of a Lithothamnion muelleri-Sargassum horridum community in the Gulf of California (2007, background): “Our sampling and natural history observations also provided insights into the abiotic environment and life history features of L. muelleri and S. horridum that may contribute to the disponibles (Foster 2001).”
