When #Forests on Land Burn, Forests Underwater Feel the Impact

"After a #ForestFire, rain sweeps dirt and ash... When that excess grit hits the #ocean, it can both hurt and help the #kelp. For one, the rich #nutrients can fuel the growth of marine life, but cloudy water also reduces the availability of sunlight, which can stunt growing kelp stalks. In addition, excess sediment can hinder #GiantKelp holdfasts from anchoring to the rocky #seafloor."
🌿🌊Great news! The newly published paper ‘Wave damping by giant kelp, Macrocystis pyrifera’ in @AnnBot by @keelsmore and co-authors is now #openaccess for a limited period

“The Giant Kelp Restoration Project was established as a desperate attempt to save the last of Tasmania's beautiful and once widespread giant kelp forests.
“In the space of one human lifetime, 95 per cent have vanished.
“Scientists say that terrible rate of loss is due to the extension of the East Australian Current, which now brings warm, nutrient-poor water all the way along Tasmania's east coast, replacing the cold, sub-Antarctic waters the kelp used to thrive in.”

A little walk in the #rain at #sunrise permits one to see all kinds of great stuff.
