“…Even less information is available regarding the mechanisms driving rhodolith photosynthesis and calcification (Cornwall et al, 2017;Hofmann and Heesch, 2018;Zweng et al, 2018). Essentially, most physiological data derive from studies that assessed the effects of climate change-related and other environmental factors on rhodolith performance (King and Schramm, 1982;Steller et al, 2007;Semesi et al, 2009;Büdenbender et al, 2011;Kamenos et al, 2013;Noisette et al, 2013a;Noisette et al, 2013b;Sordo et al, 2016;Vaśquez-Elizondo and Enrıquez, 2016;Cornwall et al, 2017;Legrand et al, 2017;Schoenrock et al, 2018;Sordo et al, 2018;Zweng et al, 2018;Legrand et al, 2019;Sordo et al, 2019;Comeau et al, 2019a;Comeau et al, 2019b;Qui-Minet et al, 2019;Schubert et al, 2019;Carvalho et al, 2020;Kim et al, 2020;Legrand et al, 2021;Schubert et al, 2021b). These studies show that rhodoliths express a wide array of responses to environmental changes (see also Martin and Hall-Spencer, 2017), suggesting a high variability in the mechanisms related to photosynthesis and calcification.…”
