This is the largest seaweed, giant kelp (Macrocystis) is the
fastest growing and most prolific of all plants found on earth.
Growing from the seafloor and extending along the ocean surface in
lush canopies, giant kelp provides an extensive vertical habitat in
a largely two-dimensional seascape. It is the foundation for one of
the most species-rich, productive, and widely distributed
ecological communities in the world. Schiel and Foster's scholarly
review and synthesis take the reader from Darwin's early
observations to contemporary research, providing a historical
perspective for the modern understanding of giant kelp evolution,
biogeography, biology, and physiology. The authors furnish a
comprehensive discussion of kelp species and forest ecology
worldwide, with considerations of human uses and abuses, management
and conservation, and the current and likely future impacts of
global change. This volume promises to be the definitive treatise
and reference on giant kelp and its forests for many years, and it
will appeal to marine scientists and others who want a better
appreciation and understanding of these wondrous forests of the
sea.
