NESP MaC Project 1.28 - Future-proofing restoration & thermal physiology of kelp

本记录概述了NESP海洋和海岸枢纽桥接研究--“面向未来的海藻修复和热生理学”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> 为了使恢复有效，必须了解和克服栖息地衰退的原因。但当气候变化导致栖息地丧失时，这是有问题的，因为它在恢复之前无法逆转或改善。由该团队领导的前一个NESP项目(项目E7，海洋生物多样性中心)从塔斯马尼亚州东部的残留地中发现了耐温水的巨型海藻品系，那里的物种由于海洋变暖而急剧下降。这些菌株具有很高的潜力来帮助‘未来’海带森林恢复，然而，提供它们更好的耐热性的生理机制仍然不清楚。该项目旨在更好地了解这些生理机制，以推动澳大利亚和全球的海带恢复工作，并在识别可能对海洋变暖和气候变化具有弹性(或特别受到威胁)的澳大利亚海带种群方面取得进展。<br/> <br/> 产出<br/> ·耐温巨藻与普通巨藻[数据集]的实验室实验的生理生态测量<br/> ·带有分析数据的最终技术报告，包括对主要调查结果向决策者提出的建议的简短摘要[书面]

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub bridging study - "Future-proofing restoration & thermal physiology of kelp". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> For restoration to be effective, the cause of habitat decline must be understood and overcome. But this is problematic when climate change is driving habitat loss since it cannot be reversed or ameliorated prior to restoration. A previous NESP project led by this team (Project E7, Marine Biodiversity Hub) identified warmwater-tolerant strains of giant kelp from remnant patches in eastern Tasmania, where the species has experienced precipitous declines due to ocean-warming. These strains have high potential to assist with ‘future-proofing’ kelp forest restoration, however it is still unclear what the physiological mechanisms are that provide their improved thermal tolerance. This project is designed to better understand these physiological mechanisms to advance kelp restoration efforts in Australia and globally, and progress toward the identification of populations of Australian kelp that may be resilient to (or especially threatened by) ocean warming and climate change.<br /> <br /> Outputs<br /> • Ecophysiological measurements from laboratory experiments of warm-tolerant vs average giant kelp genotypes [dataset]<br /> • Final technical report with analysed data, including a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]
