Biodiversity-Ecosystem Functioning: Increased species diversity does not increase the productivity of cultivated kelp AbstractBackground and aims. Biodiversity is often assumed to underpin rates of ecosystem functioning and their associated ecosystem services. Manipulative

🌍However, multi-species assemblages may still enhance stability of biomass production, especially under future environmental change. (9/9)

New evidence reveals how Greenland’s seaweed locks away carbon in the deep ocean An interdisciplinary study confirms, for the first time, the oceanographic pathways that transport floating macroalgae from the coastal waters of Southwest Greenland to deep-sea carbon reservoirs, pot

A #NewStudy shows, for the first time, floating mats of #macroalgae (or #seaweeds - including #kelp) in Southwest #Greenland can travel 100s of kms offshore - and may ultimately sink into the deep ocean, locking away #carbon for the long term:

#OurFridaySeminar: Chidimma Akabuogu, our new PhD student, presents her Master internship results on #Biostimulating & protective capacities of #Macroalgae fractions from the 🇫🇷 coast against #wheat #powdery #mildew 🌾🍄

The team’s proposal — a #biodegradable #bioplastic made from coastal #macroalgae — was developed as a response to the growing accumulation of these algae along the Portuguese coast and the need for alternatives to fossil-based #plastics.

Loss of state transitions in Bryopsidales macroalgae and kleptoplastic sea slugs (Gastropoda, Sacoglossa) Communications Biology - Photosynthetic sea slugs lose state transitions due to structural changes of their kleptoplasts, whereas Bryopsidales algae show an evolutionary loss of state transitions,...

Glad to see our work on light acclimation (state transitions) in #macroalgae and #photosynthetic #seaslugs out in @commsbio.nature.com The story took a bit of a turn, and we ended up showing that these slugs cause massive changes to the plastids they steal from algae. Have a gander: rdcu.be/epBp6

New research reveals coastal #macroalgae beds in Brazil’s SW Atlantic store 30% more #carbon than bare seabeds!
👉 527 hectares mapped.
👉 869 tons of carbon locked away, 30% from seaweed biomass alone.
👉 45% of macroalgae beds are already in protected areas.
