Intensifying marine heatwaves and limited protection threaten global kelp forests

N. Arafeh-Dalmau, J. C. Villasenor-Derbez, D. S. Schoeman, A. M. Soto, T. W. Bell, C. L. Butler, M. Costa, L. V. Dunga, H. F. Houskeeper, C. Lagger, C. Pantano, D. Lainez del Pozo, K. J. Sink, F. Micheli, K. C. Cavanaugh

The paper assesses future threats to global kelp forests from intensifying marine heatwaves and limited protection, finding increased exposure and low current conservation coverage.

Marine protected areas promote resilience of kelp forests to marine heatwaves by preserving trophic cascades

J. A. Kumagai, M. C. Goodman, J. C. Villasenor-Derbez, D. S. Schoeman, K. C. Cavanaugh, T. W. Bell, F. Micheli, G. A. De Leo, N. Arafeh-Dalmau

This study shows that fully protected marine areas in Southern California enhance kelp forest resilience to marine heatwaves through trophic cascades, but not in Central California due to differences in predator presence.

How environmental drivers of spatial synchrony interact

D. C. Reuman, M. C. Castorani, K. C. Cavanaugh, L. W. Sheppard, J. A. Walter, T. W. Bell

The paper develops a theory on how different environmental drivers interact to influence spatial synchrony in populations, using theoretical case studies and an application to giant kelp in California.
