Microplastic, an Emerging Threat to the Global Seagrass Ecosystems: A Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 1, Fall 2025.
ABSTRACT Seagrass, a type of marine plant that grows into meadows in intertidal zones and shallow coastal waters, can contribute to numerous ecological and economic benefits. Benefits include carbon sequestration, habitat for marine species, coastal protection, and raw materials for medicines and fertilizer production.

Global Review of Blue Carbon Ecosystem Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2025.
A thorough review of Blue Carbon Ecosystems' global and regional patterns in microbial diversity, functions, and distribution is currently missing. In this study, we have, for the first time, analysed 70 years (1930–2020) of data on archaeal, bacterial, and fungal diversity and reported functions in mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass ecosystems.

Molecular docking analysis of seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) phytochemical compounds as an antidiabetic

Journal of Biological Research, 2022
Enhalus acoroides have potential to inhibit the α-glucosidase enzyme and as an antidiabetic drug. Twenty-seven phytochemical compounds of seagrass (E. acoroides) were analyzed by molecular docking method.

Radiocarbon analysis reveals decomposition of old soil organic carbon into dissolved inorganic carbon in a subtropical mangrove ecosystem

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 1740-1754, June 2025.
Abstract The outwelling of remineralized dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from the subsurface soil layer through tidal pumping has recently been noted for its importance in the blue carbon budget of mangroves. However, the age of soil organic carbon (SOC) that has been decomposed into DIC remains uncertain.

Observations on the female flowers and fruiting of Tape Grass Enhalus acoroides from South Andaman Islands, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2019
Documenting phenologic events is crucial in obtaining deeper insights into the life cycle of seagrasses.  We documented and compared the flowering and fruiting of the seagrass Enhalus acoroides from multispecies seagrass meadows at two sites, Henry ...

New Report of Endophytic Sordariomycetes from the Seagrasses of Cebu, Central Philippines

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2023
Sordariomycete is one of the dominant components of the endophytic community in seagrasses. However, there are still many species under this group that still need to be described.

How much seagrass does a dugong need? Metabolic rate of live wild dugongs, Dugong dugon, determined through indirect calorimetry (oxygen consumption)

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Deterioration of seagrass beds worldwide has raised concern about the future of dugongs because almost all aspects of their life history depend on availability of seagrass. Understanding their energy metabolism and consequently how much seagrass they need will inform protective conservation strategies for dugongs. This study determined resting

High Methane Production and Emission From Tropical Seagrasses Through Methylotrophic Methanogenesis

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.
Abstract Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas that reduces the carbon sequestration capacity of seagrass meadows. However, our understanding of CH4 production and emission from these important carbon sinks is limited. Here we conducted biogeochemical experiments to identify methylotrophic methanogenesis as the primary methanogenesis pathway in a ...
