Abstract
Cover: Bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) off the coast of Carmel, California (USA). Nearshore kelp, seagrass, and other macroalgae beds provide important ecological functions and ecosystem services, including improving water quality, trapping sediment, sequestering carbon, and buffering chemical changes and wave action. However, kelp forests and seagrass are in decline. To mitigate threats to these systems, accurate methods to quantify habitat conditions, development impacts, and mitigation outcomes are needed. Pausch et al. (e14380) evaluated 47 tools used for such quantification and devised a flowchart that decision makers can apply to determine the appropriate tools to meet specific management needs of these marine systems.
期刊介绍：
Conservation Biology welcomes submissions that address the science and practice of conserving Earth's biological diversity. We encourage submissions that emphasize issues germane to any of Earth''s ecosystems or geographic regions and that apply diverse approaches to analyses and problem solving. Nevertheless, manuscripts with relevance to conservation that transcend the particular ecosystem, species, or situation described will be prioritized for publication.
