Seaweed nutrient physiology: application of concepts to aquaculture and bioremediation
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 …

Landscape‐scale patterns of nutrient enrichment in a coral reef ecosystem: implications for coral to algae phase shifts
Nutrient pollution is altering coastal ecosystems worldwide. On coral reefs, excess nutrients
can favor the production of algae at the expense of reef‐building corals, yet the role of …

Functional trait variability supports the use of mean trait values and identifies resistance trade‐offs for marine macroalgae
Trait‐based ecology (TBE) has proven useful in the terrestrial realm and beyond for
collapsing ecological complexity into traits that can be compared and generalized across …

Sea‐weeding: Manual removal of macroalgae facilitates rapid coral recovery
Coral reef ecosystems globally are under threat, leading to declining coral cover and
macroalgal proliferation. Manually removing macroalgae (ie 'sea‐weeding') may promote …
