Underwater heat waves now ravaging the Great Barrier
Reef's corals killed off kelp forests along Australia's southern and
south-western coast five years ago, according to new research.
"Some of the same types of drivers are behind all of
this, and I think this really emphasizes the manifestation of these
climate-driven events; it's more than just the coral reefs that are being
affected by this," said Thomas Wernberg, a marine biologist at the
University of Western Australia who led the new research, which appeared
Thursday in the journal Science. Twenty-one other authors from institutions in
Australia and abroad collaborated.
