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 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.
