Kelps (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales) function as ecosystem engineers along many Arctic rocky shores. With ongoing climate change, the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves...

Kelps act as ecosystem engineers and foundation species, providing the food web basis for Arctic coastal, rocky shore ecosystems. Arctic fjords are undergoing large climatic...

We explored the individual capacities of four species of marine macrophytes (Ulva lactuca, Zostera marina, Fucus vesiculosus and Saccharina latissima) to ameliorate seawater...

The Arctic population of the kelp Saccharina latissima differs from the Helgoland population in its sensitivity to changing temperature and CO2 levels. The Arctic population...

Temperature is a major driver for the geographical distribution of organisms, such as the foundation kelp species Saccharina latissima. Globally rising sea surface temperatures...

Ocean acidification and warming are affecting with special intensity the Arctic Ocean. Arctic coastal ecosystems are dominated by kelp forests with a high biomass production,...

Ocean acidification, the result of increased dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is a leading subject of current research. The effects of acidification on...

Surveys of C:N ratios, carbon and nitrogen content in the blades of adult kelps at Hansneset, Blomstrand in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, were performed along a depth transect down to...

Broadly distributed seaweeds, such as the boreal-temperate kelp species Saccharina latissima, contain a multitude of metabolites supporting acclimation to environmental changes,...

Coastal zones can be focal points of acidification where the influx of atmospheric CO2 can be compounded by additional sources of acidity that may collectively impair calcifying...

The laminarialean kelp, Saccharina latissima, is a common macroalgae along rocky shorelines that is also frequently used in aquaculture. This study examined how ocean...
