• Arctic kelp forests: Diversity, resilience and future 

      Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Wernberg, Thomas; Fredriksen, Stein; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Pedersen, Morten Foldager (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The Arctic is one of the most rapidly changing places on Earth and it is a sentinel region for understanding the range and magnitude of planetary changes, and their impacts on ecosystems. However, our understanding of ...
    • Carbon export is facilitated by sea urchins transforming kelp detritus 

      Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Fredriksen, Stein; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Rinde, Eli; Kristiansen, Trond; Albretsen, Jon; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      With the increasing imperative for societies to act to curb climate change by increasing carbon stores and sinks, it has become critical to understand how organic carbon is produced, released, transformed, transported, and ...
    • Detrital carbon production and export in high latitude kelp forests 

      Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Fredriksen, Stein; Frisk, Nicolai Lond; Fagerli, Camilla With; Wernberg, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The production and fate of seaweed detritus is a major unknown in the global C-budget. Knowing the quantity of detritus produced, the form it takes (size) and its timing of delivery are key to understanding its role as a ...
    • Global estimates of the extent and production of macroalgal forests 

      Duarte, Carlos M.; Gattuso, Jean-Pierre; Hancke, Kasper; Gundersen, Hege; Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Middelburg, J.J.; Burrows, Michael T.; Krumhansl, Kira A.; Wernberg, Thomas; Moore, Pippa J.; Pessarrodona, Albert; Ørberg, Sarah; Pinto, Isabel Sousa; Assis, Jorge; Queirós, Ana M.; Smale, Dan A; Bekkby, Trine; Serrão, Ester A.; Krause-Jensen, Dorte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Macroalgal habitats are believed to be the most extensive and productive of all coastal vegetated ecosystems. In stark contrast to the growing attention on their contribution to carbon export and sequestration, understanding ...
    • Movement of pulsed resource subsidies from kelp forests to deep fjords 

      Filbee-Dexter, Karen; Wernberg, Thomas; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Ramirez-Llodra, Eva; Pedersen, Morten Foldager (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Resource subsidies in the form of allochthonous primary production drive secondary production in many ecosystems, often sustaining diversity and overall productivity. Despite their importance in structuring marine communities, ...
    • Nordic Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Status and Outlook 

      Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Gundersen, Hege; Björk, Mats; Gullström, Martin; Dahl, Martin; Asplund, Maria E.; Boström, Christoffer; Holmer, Marianne; Banta, Gary T.; Graversen, Anna Elizabeth Løvgren; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Bekkby, Trine; Frigstad, Helene; Skjellum, Solrun Figenschau; Thormar, Jonas; Gyldenkærne, Steen; Howard, Jennifer; Pidgeon, Emily; Ragnarsdóttir, Sunna Björk; Mols-Mortensen, Agnes; Hancke, Kasper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon ...
    • Predators of the destructive sea urchin grazer Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis on the Norwegian coast 

      Fagerli, Camilla With; Norderhaug, Kjell Magnus; Christie, Hartvig C; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Fredriksen, Stein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      In central Norway, populations of the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droe-bachiensis are collapsing, but the factors controlling its population density have not yet been elucidated. Through field sampling, we identified ...
