Ecosystem damage from tropical #cyclones under #climatechange #foundationspecies @UWAresearch @uwaoceans
🌱📈Damage to #ecosystem community structure and processes as well as to individual #species performance from North Atlantic tropical cyclones show an increasing trend from 1970 to 2019.

🌊1/Seaweed forests worldwide are changing rapidly due to climate change. Western Australia’s forests are dramatic examples of this, but what about the biodiversity hotspot on the south coast? Our latest historical ecology research finds out... 🧵

Turns out #kelp forests of the #GreatSouthernReef top the list globally - that’s the short version 🌊 🌱 ☺️ Read the linked article and our recent @NatureGeosci led by @Filbeek 👊 nature.com/articles/s41561-0… @UWAresearch – at Bornholm, Danmark
GSR Science Committee Member @twernberg unpacks how kelp contributes to carbon sequestration "The majority of the biomass that's exported are fragments of various sizes, and that enters the marine environment and gets broken down even further".

Global #seaweed forests export 56 million tonnes of carbon (15% of their production) to the deep ocean annually. These biodiverse #blueforests are overlooked in the global ocean #carbon budget. We provide national estimates of this C #sink rdcu.be/dIKup @NatureGeosci
