An alternative offset would be to cultivate kelp forests. Kelp can grow at 2 feet per day, 30 times faster than terrestrial plants. Planting kelp across 10% of the oceans (4.5 x the area of Australia) could provide the same offset. Additionally, the kelp would support a fish harvest of 2 megatons per year and reduce ocean acidification. Large ...
Macrocystis pyrifera is one of the fastest-growing organisms on Earth. [23] [24]: 8 They can grow at a rate of 60 cm (2 ft) a day to reach over 45 m (150 ft) long in one growing season. [8] [25] [26] Juvenile giant kelp grow directly upon their parent female gametophyte. To establish itself, a young kelp produces one or two primary blades, and ...
The organisms require nutrient-rich water with temperatures between 6 and 14 °C (43 and 57 °F). They are known for their high growth rate—the genera Macrocystis and Nereocystis can grow as fast as half a metre a day (that is, about 20 inches a day), ultimately reaching 30 to 80 metres (100 to 260 ft).

Holodiscus discolor is a fast-growing deciduous shrub usually from to 1.2–1.5 metres (4–5 feet) in width, and up to 2.1 m (7 ft) tall. Its alternate leaves are small, 5–9 centimetres (2– 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) long and 4–7 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –3 in) broad, lobed, juicy green when new. [6]
This species of Caulerpa prefers to grow on rockwork though it may venture out onto the substrate. Under strong lighting, it will grow dense blades, resembling clusters of grapes. Additionally, it is known to be edible to humans and is also called Green caviar, Latok, and Umibudo. [47] [48] 6 in (15.2 cm) [49] Fern algae: Caulerpa mexicana ...
When nighttime temperatures begin dropping below 50 degrees, it’s time to bring in any plants you want to save. The first step is finding a spot for all of them. “Light is the most limiting ...
The sowing of 90 kg (200 lb) selected seeds in a distance of 60 to 80 cm (24–31 in), either by hand or by seed drill, follows. Plants germinate fast due to the high-fat content in the seeds. [3] Crop rotation aspects. Early varieties of L. mutabilis, with a growing period of about 150 days, can be cultivated in rotation with potatoes and cereals
