Is monitoring kelp forest ecosystems a guidebook to quantifying biodiversity ecosystem health and ecosystem benefits?
Monitoring Kelp Forest Ecosystems: A Guidebook to Quantifying Biodiversity, Ecosystem Health, and Ecosystem Benefits. This free collaborative guidebook created by Ocean Wise and the Kelp Forest Alliance is the most comprehensive guide for measuring and monitoring the health of natural and restored kelp beds globally.
What is the scientific definition of kelp forest?
Kelp forests are underwater ecosystems formed in shallow water by the dense growth of several different species known as kelp. Though they look very much like plants, kelps are actually extremely large brown algae.
What details are important to consider regarding the kelp forest ecosystem?
Giant kelp grows best in areas with rocky bottoms, plenty of light and enough water motion to keep nutrients circulating around the algae. Because they depend on light for photosynthesis, kelp forests are rarely found in deep open waters.
How do kelp forests support biodiversity?
Many organisms use the thick blades as a safe shelter for their young from predators or even rough storms. These underwater towers of kelp provide food, shelter, and protection for all kinds of marine life, including seals, sea lions, sea otters, invertebrates, fish, whales, birds, and more.
How would scientists describe the biodiversity of a kelp forest?
Kelp forests have long been known to harbor a high number and diversity of marine species, from tiny crustaceans to large fish and marine mammals. This biodiversity tends to be attributed to the complex structure and productivity of giant kelp, earning it the title foundational species.

How biodiverse are kelp forests?
Kelp forests harbor a greater variety and higher diversity of plants and animals than almost any other ocean community. Many organisms use the thick blades as a safe shelter for their young from predators or even rough storms.
How would scientists describe the biodiversity of a rainforest?
Tropical rainforests are unique in the high levels of biodiversity they exhibit. Around 40% to 75% of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests. Rainforests are home to half of all the living animal and plant species on the planet. Two-thirds of all flowering plants can be found in rainforests.
