Literature cited in the text of this review is listed below, together with a selection of other articles and books relevant to the ecology of kelp beds.

The publications indicated by underlining the citation are, in our opinion, sources of useful background information for readers who are unfamiliar with kelp beds and their ecology. In particular, Lüning (1990) is an excellent source of information and contains an extensive bibliography.
