The distribution of seagrasses in Dominica, Lesser Antilles

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2010
Seagrass beds are the largest organism-built marine habitat in Dominica, yet have only been surveyed since 2007. Standardized examinations along a depth gradient between 0 and 24m, focusing on magnoliophyte species composition and benthic cover of shoots

Pengukuran Stok Karbon Ekosistem Lamun Di Kawasan Taman Nasional Baluran, Jawa Timur

Jurnal Kelautan Tropis, 2022
Climate change caused by various activities of human activity has produced carbon dioxide gas affecting global warming. Seagrass ecosystem has the ability to absorb and store large quantities of carbon that can reduce carbon emissions. Objectives of this

American manatees adjust their diet composition and trophic niche breadth across different coastal regions

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Marine mammals can exhibit high plasticity in foraging strategies, but how such plasticity is driven by environmental conditions is poorly understood. The American manatee (Trichechus manatus), a large, endangered herbivore, inhabits marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments.

Seagrass Connectivity on the West Coast of Africa Supports the Hypothesis of Grazer-Mediated Seed Dispersal

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Population connectivity influences the distribution of genetic diversity and divergence along a species range, as the likelihood of extinction or differentiation increases in isolated populations.

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1155-1171, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...

Soil Carbon Stocks in Fijian Seagrass: Environmental Drivers, National Inventories, and Implications for Blue Carbon Accounting in Small Island Settings

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Pacific island seagrass systems remain critically underrepresented in global blue carbon assessments despite their potential significance for climate mitigation. We present the first national‐scale assessment of seagrass soil carbon stocks for a Pacific island nation based on 135 sediment cores from 47 sites across Fiji.

Habitat characteristics drive fish recruitment enhancement in threatened coastal nursery habitats

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings underscore the importance of habitat attributes and physical settings as the key predictors of fish enhancement across threatened coastal nurseries of North America. Restoration and management efforts should aim to optimize these factors to maximize fish recruitment potential amid ecosystem degradation. Abstract Structured coastal habitats

Decomposition of senescent blades of the seagrass Halodule wrightii in a subtropical lagoon

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1993
Senescent blades from the seagrass Halodule wrightii Aschers were suspended in the water column of Laguna Madre (Texas, USA) for a period of 419 d , representing the longest seagrass decomposition study to date. The initial stage of decomposition was characterized by a rapid loss of organic matter (36 % in 24 d ) attributed to leaching. A total of 76 %
