These forests play a crucial role in marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, serving as foundation species for various habitat-associated plants and animals. AI generated definition based on: World Seas: An Environmental Evaluation, 2019
The kelp plants grow tall and move slowly in the water. To some extent(程度),they look like trees.③A kelp forest has three parts, which are the top, the middle and the lowest. Different animals use different parts. Some live at the top, some live in the middle, and others live at...
