The ongoing environmental crisis, driven by biodiversity loss and climate change, raises concerns about the impacts on marine systems human well-being. These environments provide crucial ecosystem services valued at approximately USD 74.5 trillion·year−1 globally. Seagrasses support fisheries, protect coasts, help mitigate maintain biodiversity, food security, enhance water quality. However, comprehensive assessments of seagrass (SESs) their are lacking. Focusing Brazilian southwest...
Abstract Kelp communities are experiencing exacerbated heat‐related impacts from more intense, frequent, and deeper marine heatwaves (MHWs), imperiling the long‐term survival of kelp forests in climate change scenario. The occurrence deep thermal anomalies is critical importance, as elevated temperatures can impact populations across their entire bathymetric range. This study evaluates MHWs on mature sporophytes Pterygophora californica (walking kelp) extremes (8–10 vs. 25–27 m) a population...
The surfgrass Phyllospadix scouleri constitutes highly productive meadows along the Pacific coast of North America – a region that has been increasingly affected by severe marine heatwaves (MHWs) in recent years. Our study assessed effects consecutive MHWs simulated mesocosms on critical ecophysiological descriptors P. scouleri. Generally, our results revealed progressive deterioration plant overall physiological status. Surprisingly, photosynthetic parameters only indicated stress once...
