Table 1. A list of ‘indicator species’ that are consistently associated with healthy Laminaria hyperborea forests throughout the year, including their average abundance per m-2 of kelp forest and trophic function (K. Schoenrock et al., personal communication). A lack of these species within a L. hyperboreaforest may indicate 1) the ecosystem is unhealthy or 2) the habitat is small (‘kelp park’ see Parr, 2020) or comprised of mixed kelps (see Table 5 where communities change with kelp species).
