Cross‐depth connectivity shows that deep kelps may act as refugia by reseeding climate‐vulnerable shallow beds

Abstract: Refugia are habitats where species can survive or retreat to during environmental disturbances. One key assumption of habitats that constitute refugia is that they may assist in the persistence of impacted populations through the provision of reproductive propagules. This "reseeding" hypothesis assumes that demographic connectivity exists between refugia and impacted habitats. We tested this hypothesis for the kelp Ecklonia radiata, a temperate marine foundation species dominant in the temperate coast of Austr… Show more

“…Our findings support the concept that deeper kelp populations can serve as refuges from MHWs (Giraldo‐Ospina et al., 2020). This outcome presents an opportunity for future restoration strategies, such as transplanting deep‐water sporophytes to revitalize damaged shallow Pterygophora californica beds or exploring their potential as a source of reproductive propagules for natural repopulation, as seen in other kelp species (e.g., Ecklonia radiata ; Giraldo‐Ospina et al., 2023). Notably, most effects and responses were observed after MHW cessation, aligning with studies on other macrophytes (Marín‐Guirao et al., 2016; Umanzor et al., 2021; Vivanco‐Bercovich et al., 2022) and indicating a delayed response to heat stress.…”

“…This event induced strong downwelling anomalies, impacting oceanographic conditions, with potential implications for deep kelp communities (Sen Gupta et al., 2020; Zaba & Rudnick, 2016). The significance of deep kelp reefs as global climate refuges is vital but remains unexplored in the context of warming impacts (Assis et al., 2016; Davis et al., 2021; Giraldo‐Ospina et al., 2020, 2023; Ladah et al., 1999).…”
