S.; Duarte, Carlos M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Arctic climate is changing rapidly. The warming and resultant longer open water periods suggest a potential for expansion of marine vegetation along the vast Arctic coastline. We compiled and reviewed the scattered ...
    • Kelp forest distribution in the Nordic region

      Kelp forests are productive coastal ecosystems that provide a range of ecosystem services. Mapping the distribution and area occupied by kelp forests is a critical step to identify their ecosystem functions and services, ...
    • Nordic Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Status and Outlook 

      Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Gundersen, Hege; Björk, Mats; Gullström, Martin; Dahl, Martin; Asplund, Maria E.; Boström, Christoffer; Holmer, Marianne; Banta, Gary T.; Graversen, Anna Elizabeth Løvgren; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Bekkby, Trine; Frigstad, Helene; Skjellum, Solrun Figenschau; Thormar, Jonas; Gyldenkærne, Steen; Howard, Jennifer; Pidgeon, Emily; Ragnarsdóttir, Sunna Björk; Mols-Mortensen, Agnes; Hancke, Kasper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon ...
    • Potential role of seaweeds in climate change mitigation 

      Ross, Finnley W.R.; Boyd, Philip W.; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Watanabe, Kenta; Ortega, Alejandra; Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Lovelock, Catherine; Sondak, Calvyn F.A.; Bach, Lennart T.; Duarte, Carlos M.; Serrano, Oscar; Beardall, John; Tarbuck, Patrick; Macreadie, Peter I. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Seaweed (macroalgae) has attracted attention globally given its potential for climate change mitigation. A topical and contentious question is: Can seaweeds' contribution to climate change mitigation be enhanced at globally ...
