Description
Summary:The goal of this chapter ´Seaweeds Ecology and Climatic Change´ is to introduce basic concepts on seaweeds´ ecology and to emphasize their ecologic role, within the phenomena of climatic change occurring on Earth. We will illustrate some of the evidences for changes in the seaweed community attributed to climate change, focusing mainly on studies about changes in temperature, UV radiation, sea-level and ocean acidification.
