Aim Understanding the relative importance of climatic and non‐climatic distribution drivers
for co‐occurring, functionally similar species is required to assess potential consequences of …

Kelp forests are ecologically diverse habitats that provide vast ecosystem goods and
services, but are threatened by climate and anthropogenic stressors. Laminarian kelps have …

Habitat forming 'ecosystem engineers' such as kelp species create complex habitats that
support biodiverse and productive communities. Studies of the resilience and stability of …

Background and aims Kelp forests underpin temperate marine ecosystems but are declining
due to ocean warming, causing loss of associated ecosystem services. Projections suggest …

Oceans and coasts provide important ecosystem, livelihood, and cultural values to humans
and the planet but face current and future compounding threats from anthropogenic activities …

Canopy forming macroalgae are declining globally due to climate change and the
