- Adaptations of kelp include12345:
- Surviving freezing temperatures and long periods of darkness.
- Growing rapidly (up to 18 inches per day) in ideal conditions.
- Providing food and shelter for many organisms.
- Exporting biomass to the deep sea, helping remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- Creating a multi-layered forest habitat with a diverse range of animals.

This includes through sequestering carbon that can be buried in seafloor sediments and stored for centuries. Kelp are habitat-forming species that are vital to building underwater communities and nurturing species interactions.www.unep.org/topics/ocean-seas-and-coasts/blue-…Kelps have adapted to the severe conditions. These cool water species have special strategies to survive freezing temperatures and long periods of darkness, and even grow under sea ice. In regions with cold, nutrient-rich water, they can attain some of the highest rates of primary production of any natural ecosystem on Earth.earthsky.org/earth/underwater-kelp-seaweed-forest…In ideal conditions, kelp can grow up to 18 inches per day, and in stark contrast to the colorful and slow-growing corals, the giant kelp canopies tower above the ocean floor. Like trees in a forest, these giant algae provide food and shelter for many organisms. Also like a terrestrial forest, kelp forests experience seasonal changes.oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/kelp.htmlKelp has an incredibly fast growth rate (up to two feet per day) and exports a large portion of its biomass out into the deep sea, allowing kelp to permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere will play a necessary role in preventing rising temperatures and future climate catastrophe.sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2019/how-kelp-naturall…Kelp creates a unique multi-layered forest habitat with a canopy layer at the water’s surface and a connected network of shaded vegetation layers, known as an understory, between the branches of the holdfast on the ocean floor. This varied habitat makes these forests home to a diverse range of animals to live in or use for shelter and food.www.wri.org/insights/what-kelp-forests-protect - People also ask
