Climate-driven invasion and incipient warnings of kelp ecosystem collapse

S. D. Ling and J. P. Keane

In a groundbreaking study by Scott D. Ling and John P. Keane, researchers reveal alarming early-warning signs of ecosystem collapse due to climate change in southeastern Australia. Their findings indicate that by 2030, half of the kelp beds may vanish, linked to the overgrazing of a rampant sea urchin. Discover how proactive measures can be taken to combat this environmental crisis.
