The purpose of the Kelpforest Database is to serve as a repository for our knowledge of the identities, life-histories, and interactions between the species present in the nearshore kelp forest ecosystems of the eastern Pacific, focusing in particular on central and southern California. The information that it houses will aid in the interpretation of species’ spatial and temporal patterns, and will serve as the basis on which to construct and parameterize mathematical models of these species rich communities.
