This paper develops a method to assess kelp forest carbon sequestration capacity using data synthesis and Bayesian modeling, finding significant carbon storage and production in Canadian kelp forests.

This study examines how a marine heatwave and local human disturbance affect juvenile coral densities, finding both stressors reduce densities, with competitive corals declining more than stress-tolerant ones.

The paper assesses spatial variation in benthic community composition on a minimally disturbed coral reef three years after a marine heatwave, finding depth and location-specific patterns in algal and coral cover.
