Life in a Kelp Forest
Describes underwater forest creatures and the world in which they live.
Kelp Forests
Kelp forests is an underwater jungle experience where readers learn about the interactions between a variety of creatures including sea otters, wolf eels, and kelp crabs.
The Biology and Ecology of Giant Kelp Forests
The largest seaweed, giant kelp (Macrocystis) is the fastest growing and most prolific of all plants found on earth. Growing from the seafloor and extending along the ocean surface in lush canopies, giant kelp provides an extensive vertical habitat in a largely two-dimensional seascape. It is the foundation for one of the most species-rich, productive, and widely distributed ecological communities in the world. Schiel and FosterÕs scholarly review and synthesisÊtake the reader from DarwinÕs early observations to contemporary research, providing a historical perspective for the modern understanding of giant kelp evolution, biogeography, biology, and physiology. The authors furnish a comprehensive discussion of kelp species and forest ecology worldwide, with considerations of human uses and abuses, management and conservation, and the current and likely future impacts of global change. This volume promises to be the definitive treatise and reference on giant kelp and its forests for many years, and it will appeal to marine scientists and others who want a better appreciation and understanding of these wondrous forests of the sea.
Kelp: The Underwater Forest!
Forests can be found all over the world, including underwater! Giant kelp forests grow in coastal waters where the water is very clear so sunlight can reach the sea floor. Kelp can grow up to 18 inches a day if the conditions are right, meaning kelp forests can spring up quickly! Full-color photographs and accessible language take readers under the sea to discover the kelp forests. Information about photosynthesis, habitats, and plant structures supplement what readers learn about plants in science class. Fun fact boxes give readers even more information about kelp and its role in the ocean biome.

Richly illustrated with color photographs and illustrations, these books make great references for amateur naturalists and students alike. Explore undersea forests that shelter an endless variety of sea life, including anemones and moon jellies, red octopus and playful sea otters.
Ocean Forests
Kelp belongs to the Order Laminariales. Roughly 75 percent of the genera in this order are native to the Pacific coast, with the greatest species diversity occurring in the vicinity of Vancouver Island. Although kelp range in colour from light olive green to dark brown, it is classified as brown algae because the green pigments it uses of photosynthesis are masked by more abundant brown pigments. This document looks precisely at the diversity and value of kelp forest ecosystems.
