A small cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus) peers through strands of sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) in a lush kelp forest ecosystem on Cashes Ledge in the Gulf of Maine.

Kelp forests on the coast of Maine are in decline owing to rapid ocean warming and are being replaced by turf algae, which alter the ecosystem’s chemistry, hindering the recovery of kelp forests.

Happy Easter to all with a bit of Baltic Sea Saccharina near Kiel in Germany. #kelp #BalticSea

Differential effects of warming on carbon budget, photosynthetic yield and biochemical composition of cold-temperate and Arctic isolates of Laminaria digitata (Phaeophyceae) Cold-temperate and Arctic hard bottom coastal ecosystems are dominated by kelp forests, which have a high biomass production and provide important eco…

New paper out! 🎉 #Kelp #carbonbudget dominated by carbon loss processes under #oceanwarming 🌡️. Differential effects on carbon allocation depend on population origin. #Laminaria @lies-nerd.bsky.social
