Kelp Declines in the Gulf of Maine
This summer, I was lucky enough to be part of a paper with colleagues at Bigelow, Maine DMR, and UMaine put out a paper using causal inference techniques to show that warming is causing kelp loss throughout the Gulf of Maine, this despite the potential to rebound after urchins declined in the system.

These genotype-microbe associations can be nearly identical even when plants are hundreds of kilometers apart. These […]
