Kelp forests (Order Laminariales) form key biogenic habitats in coastal regions of temperate
and Arctic seas worldwide, providing ecosystem services valued in the range of billions of …

Regional warming associated with climate change is linked with altered range and abundance
of species and ecosystems worldwide. However, the ecological impacts of changes in the …

In 2014–2016 the west coast of North America experienced a marine heatwave that was
unprecedented in the historical record in terms of its duration and intensity. This event was …

Synthesizing long-term observations at multiple scales is vital for understanding the
environmental drivers of ecosystem dynamics. We assessed the role of several environmental …

Climate change is driving the tropicalization of temperate ecosystems by shifting the range
edges of numerous species poleward. Over the past few decades, mangroves have rapidly …

Environmental governance is more effective when the scales of ecological processes are
well matched with the human institutions charged with managing human–environment …

Satellite and aerial imagery have been used extensively for mapping the abundance and
distribution of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) in southern California. There is now great …

Predictions of climate‐related shifts in species ranges have largely been based on
correlative models. Due to limitations of these models, there is a need for more integration of …

Mangrove forests are highly productive tidal saline wetland ecosystems found along sheltered
tropical and subtropical coasts. Ecologists have long assumed that climatic drivers (ie, …

Climate models predict a dramatic increase in the annual frequency and severity of extreme
weather events during the next century. Here we show that increases in the annual …
