The effect of global climate change on the future distribution of economically important macroalgae (seaweeds) in the northwest Atlantic
An increase in greenhouse gas emissions has led to a rise in average global air and ocean temperatures. Increased sea surface temperatures can cause changes in species’ distributions, particularly those species close to their thermal tolerance limits. We use a bioclimate envelope approach to assess...
