Abstract:As climate change progresses, the intensity and variability of freshwater outflow into the ocean is predicted to increase. The resulting increase in low salinity events will be a source of stress forSaccharina latissima(sugar kelp) and potentiallySaccharina’sassociated bacterial community. Bacteria are important to the health of their host because host-associated bacteria can facilitate or hinder host survival in stressful abiotic conditions. Therefore, understanding how bacteria change under abiotic stress is… Show more
