沿着温带和极地海岸线的海带森林是地球上最多样化和生产力最高的栖息地之一。在这里，我们综合信息从>60年的结构和功能的海带森林栖息地在欧洲沃茨的研究，特别强调英国和爱尔兰，这是一个重要的地理过渡区，受到多重威胁和压力的海岸。我们整理了关于海带分布和丰度的现有数据，并重新分析了这些数据，以描述沿着跨越10°以上纬度的空间梯度的海带森林结构。然后，我们研究了海带森林提供的生态产品和服务，包括提高二次生产，营养循环，能量捕获和流动，海岸防御，直接应用和生物多样性储存库，然后讨论当前和未来对海带森林构成的威胁，并确定关键的知识差距。最近的证据明确表明，在东北大西洋的海带森林的结构正在发生变化，以应对气候和非气候相关的压力，这将对沿海生态系统的结构和功能产生重大影响。然而，海带占主导地位的栖息地沿着东北大西洋海岸线的大部分已经长期研究不足，在最近几十年相比，其他地区，如澳大拉西亚和北美。实地研究的缺乏目前阻碍了我们保护和管理这些重要生态系统的能力。迫切需要在大的空间和时间尺度上进行有针对性的观测和实验研究，以弥补这些知识差距。
Kelp forests along temperate and polar coastlines represent some of most diverse and productive habitats on the Earth. Here, we synthesize information from >60 years of research on the structure and functioning of kelp forest habitats in European waters, with particular emphasis on the coasts of UK and Ireland, which represents an important biogeographic transition zone that is subjected to multiple threats and stressors. We collated existing data on kelp distribution and abundance and reanalyzed these data to describe the structure of kelp forests along a spatial gradient spanning more than 10° of latitude. We then examined ecological goods and services provided by kelp forests, including elevated secondary production, nutrient cycling, energy capture and flow, coastal defense, direct applications, and biodiversity repositories, before discussing current and future threats posed to kelp forests and identifying key knowledge gaps. Recent evidence unequivocally demonstrates that the structure of kelp forests in the NE Atlantic is changing in response to climate- and non-climate-related stressors, which will have major implications for the structure and functioning of coastal ecosystems. However, kelp-dominated habitats along much of the NE Atlantic coastline have been chronically understudied over recent decades in comparison with other regions such as Australasia and North America. The paucity of field-based research currently impedes our ability to conserve and manage these important ecosystems. Targeted observational and experimental research conducted over large spatial and temporal scales is urgently needed to address these knowledge gaps.
