Restoration Projects:
- This study examined and compared different approaches to restoring bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) populations. It tested the hypotheses that outplanted substrates containing recently settled zoospores or microscopic sporophytes of N. luetkeana would develop with equal success, outplants would have greater survival when elevated above the substratum, and that transplanted juvenile plants (>15cm) could be used to regenerate populations.
- This study examined sites post disturbance and conducted field manipulations to investigate factors driving temporal variability in the southern limit of Macrocystis pyrifera.
