This study evaluates MPA placement strategies for kelp forest resilience against heatwaves, finding that protecting refugia is not always optimal and that connectivity and spatiotemporal dynamics are critical.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

The paper models kelp forest management strategies to mitigate marine heatwave impacts, finding that early intervention and sustained actions are most effective.

This paper develops a spatial prioritization framework for kelp restoration in California using historical and satellite data to classify and prioritize sites for restoration efforts.

The paper identifies regional drivers of kelp density variation in California using long-term monitoring data and generalized additive models.

The paper evaluates how protection status and environmental conditions affect fish abundance and biomass in marine protected areas, finding depth and habitat are strong predictors, but protection effects vary by species.
