3 CONTENTS ECOSPHERE VOLUME 9 NUMBER 8 AUGUST 2018 COVER PHOTO: A Bald Eagle nest made of woody kelp. Sea otter foraging can re-set kelp forest successional dynamics. Where the woody kelp, Pterygophora californica, recruits in the wake of sea otter foraging it senesces en masse, some 20 years later. Pulses of kelp stipes are washed up as windrows on shore where they can subsidize terrestrial communities; in this case providing nesting material for Bald Eagles. See Rechsteiner et al.
