Carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation using macroalgae: a state of knowledge review
Pessarrodona, Albert; Franco-Santos, Rita M.; Wright, Luka Seamus; Vanderklift, Mathew A.; Howard, Jennifer; Pidgeon, Emily; Wernberg, Thomas; Filbee-Dexter, Karen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The conservation, restoration, and improved management of terrestrial forests significantly contributes to mitigate climate change and its impacts, as well as providing numerous co-benefits. The pressing need to reduce ... -
Global estimates of the extent and production of macroalgal forests
Duarte, Carlos M.; Gattuso, Jean-Pierre; Hancke, Kasper; Gundersen, Hege; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Middelburg, J.J.; Burrows, Michael T.; Krumhansl, Kira A.; Wernberg, Thomas; Moore, Pippa J.; Pessarrodona, Albert; Ørberg, Sarah; Pinto, Isabel Sousa; Assis, Jorge; Queirós, Ana M.; Smale, Dan A; Bekkby, Trine; Serrão, Ester A.; Krause-Jensen, Dorte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Macroalgal habitats are believed to be the most extensive and productive of all coastal vegetated ecosystems. In stark contrast to the growing attention on their contribution to carbon export and sequestration, understanding ... -
Global seaweed productivity
Pessarrodona, Albert; Assis, Jorge; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Burrows, Michael T.; Gattuso, Jean-Pierre; Duarte, Carlos M.; Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Moore, Pippa J.; Smale, Dan A.; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The magnitude and distribution of net primary production (NPP) in the coastal ocean remains poorly constrained, particularly for shallow marine vegetation. Here, using a compilation of in situ annual NPP measurements across ... -

Habitat configurations shape the trophic and energetic dynamics of reef fishes in a tropical–temperate transition zone: implications under a warming future
Bosch, Nestor E.; Pessarrodona, Albert; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Tuya, Fernando; Mulders, Yannick; Bell, Sahira; Langlois, Tim; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding the extent to which species’ traits mediate patterns of community assembly is key to predict the effect of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on ecosystem functioning. Here, we apply a trait-based community ... -
High herbivory despite high sediment loads on a fringing coral reef
Pessarrodona, Albert; Tebbett, Sterling B.; Bosch, Nestor E.; Bellwood, David R.; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Algal turfs are expected to increasingly dominate the benthos of coral reefs in the Anthropocene, becoming important sources of reef productivity. The sediments trapped within algal turfs are known to determine turf condition ... -
Homogenization and miniaturization of habitat structure in temperate marine forests
Pessarrodona, Albert; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Alcoverro, Teresa; Boada, Jordi; Feehan, Colette J.; Fredriksen, Stein; Grace, Sean P.; Nakamura, Yohei; Narvaez, Carla A.; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Humans are rapidly transforming the structural configuration of the planet's ecosystems, but these changes and their ecological consequences remain poorly quantified in underwater habitats. Here, we show that the loss of ... -
Intergrading reef communities across discrete seaweed habitats in a temperate–tropical transition zone: Lessons for species reshuffling in a warming ocean
Mulders, Yannick; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Bell, Sahira; Bosch, Nestor E.; Pessarrodona, Albert; Sahin, Defne; Vranken, Sofie; Zarco-Perello, Salvador; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Temperate reefs are increasingly affected by the direct and indirect effects of climate change. At many of their warm range edges, cool-water kelps are decreasing, while seaweeds with warm-water affinities are increasing. ... -
Recovery of algal turfs following removal
Pessarrodona, Albert; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As a consequence of the increasing human footprint on the environment, marine ecosystems are rapidly transforming into new configurations dominated by early-successional and weedy life forms. Algal turfs, in particular, ... -
Seaweed forests are carbon sinks that may help mitigate CO2 emissions: a comment on Gallagher et al. (2022)
Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Pessarrodona, Albert; Duarte, Carlos M.; Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Hancke, Kasper; Smale, Daniel; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Recently, Gallagher et al. (2022) suggested that seaweed ecosystems are net heterotrophic carbon sources due to CO2 released from the consumption of external subsidies. Here we outline several flaws in their argument, which ... -
