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.

The fingerprint of functional strategies in Mediterranean seagrass fish assemblages

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1665-1677, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the Mediterranean Sea, fish assemblages associated with seagrasses host a relevant percentage of the total fish biodiversity. While the structural complexity, coverage and distribution of seagrasses are known to influence species richness and abundance, their effect ...

Comparing Cloud Mask Products for Seagrass Mapping Over Sentinel‐2 Imagery: Toward a First National Seagrass Map for Venezuela

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Despite providing many valuable ecosystem services, seagrasses are a threatened habitat and their global distribution is not fully known. For example, Venezuela lacks a national seagrass map. An established regional mapping approach for seagrass exists for the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, but requires a long time window to obtain ...

Why Do Large Dugong Aggregations Persist in Continuous Seagrass Meadows Despite Anthropogenic Disturbances Around Hawar Island, Bahrain

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Spatially explicit aggregations of wide‐ranging marine mammals are important conservation targets. Determining why particular sites sustain such aggregations is crucial to ensure effective science‐based management. In Bahrain, large dugong aggregations (defined as > 50 dugongs) persist predictably around Hawar Island, occupying these waters ...

Field-Spectroradiometric Characterisation of Three Seagrass Species (Halophila stipulacea, Halodule uninervis, and Halophila ovalis) and Their Differentiation in the Arabian Gulf, Kingdom of Bahrain

Remote Sensing
Seagrass meadows support critical coastal ecosystems, but corresponding species-level remote sensing data remain limited, particularly in the Arabian Gulf, where field spectral data for dominant taxa are extremely limited.

Understanding the drivers of seagrass loss in Kenya: Evidence for the impacts of population and fishing

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Seagrass ecosystems are crucial for supporting biodiversity and serve as vital fishing grounds. Unfortunately, their cover is declining globally. In Kenya, seagrass cover is falling by ~ 1.6% annually but the causes are unknown. This study investigated the possible anthropogenic drivers of seagrass decline along the Kenyan coastline. Satellite

Predicting seagrass ecosystem resilience to marine heatwave events of variable duration, frequency and re‐occurrence patterns with gaps

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Background Seagrass, a vital primary producer habitat, is crucial for maintaining high biodiversity and offers numerous ecosystem services globally. The increasing severity and frequency of marine heatwaves, exacerbated by climate change, pose significant risks to seagrass meadows.
