Conceptual overview of the expected parabolic relationship between climate change stressors and rhodolith holobiont fitness. Under normal conditions, healthy rhodoliths possess stable microbiomes, important to the holobiont function. However, beyond thresholds of algal physiological tolerance to climate change stressors, the disruption of positive host-microbiome interactions occurs, detrimentally affecting the holobiont fitness
