This project aims to quantify the impacts of a changing climate on key ecosystem functions of temperate reefs. As global temperate reefs respond to ocean warming, iconic and economically important kelp forests and associated fishes and invertebrates are being lost. Novel communities and never-before seen configurations of species are emerging in these systems. This project aims to characterise the new dynamics of these novel systems, and provide an understanding of how to maintain key ecosystem functions - primary productivity, fish production - that underpin the benefits that humans derive from our coastlines.

该项目旨在量化气候变化对温带珊瑚礁关键生态系统功能的影响。随着全球温带珊瑚礁对海洋变暖的反应，标志性和经济上重要的海带森林以及相关鱼类和无脊椎动物正在消失。新的社区和以前从未见过的物种配置正在这些系统中出现。该项目旨在研究这些新系统的新动态，并了解如何维持关键的生态系统功能-初级生产力，鱼类生产-这是人类从海岸线获得的利益的基础。
