Inorganic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus are the main elements required by seaweeds for
photosynthesis and growth. This review focusses mainly on nitrogen, but the roles of carbon …

The increase in the demand for seaweed biomass and high-quality products has created an
urgent need for a more productive and sustainable cultivation system. Deep seawater …

Extreme temperature events are becoming more recurrent and are more frequent with major
impacts on coastal ecosystems, which are additionally impacted by increasing urbanization …

Calcified macroalgae are essential components of marine ecosystem, yet much of their
physiology remains to be understood. Here, the nutrient (NO3–and PO4–3) uptake …

Land based intensive cultivation systems have been proposed as an ideal option for the
commercial production of high value products from seaweeds. However, many cultures on …

The declining production of commercially important eucheumatoids related to serious
problems, like increasing susceptibility to ice–ice disease and epiphytism, may be …

Kelp forest declines have been linked to warming ocean temperatures worldwide. Ocean
warming rarely occurs in isolation, so multiple stressor studies are necessary to understand …

The specific growth rate of a brown alga, Sargassum macrocarpum, was evaluated by
supplying bio-filtered wastewater (BFW) and synthetic nutrient medium (SNM) adjusted to …

Phenotypic plasticity is an adaptive mechanism used by different organisms to cope with
spatial and temporal variation in the environment (Murren et al., 2015). It can be defined as …

In this chapter, algal nutrient dynamics are considered from an ecophysiological viewpoint in
which different resource acquisition mechanisms of algae facing different environmental …
