Global biodiversity patterns of marine forests of brown macroalgae
Abstract Aim Marine forests of brown macroalgae create essential habitats for coastal species and support invaluable ecological services. Here, we provide the first global analysis of species richness and endemicity of both the kelp and fucoid biomes. Location Global. Time period Contemporary. Major...

Abstract Aim Marine forests of brown macroalgae create essential habitats for coastal species and support invaluable ecological services.
