A generalizable deep learning framework for large-scale mapping of seagrass habitats
Seagrass meadows play a vital role in supporting coastal communities by promoting biodiversity, mitigating coastal erosion, and contributing to the local economy. These ecosystems face significant threats, including habitat loss, degradation, and climate

Guidelines for the active restoration of Posidonia oceanica.
As initiated by other international or regional agreements (e.g. OSPAR, UNEP-MAP), seagrass restoration operations require an analysis of existing practices in order to identify what is “working” (operational techniques) and what is still considered as Research and Development (R&D). This initiative aims to guide public policies, Marine Protected Areas

Dynamics of posidonia oceanica meadows
[eng] In this thesis we study the dynamics of vegetation patterns in Posidonia oceanica meadows. The first introductory chapter presents a review of vegetation patterns in different ecosystems, the methodologies used in the literature to study each case, and the previous works of Posidonia oceanica with implications in the description of the meadows ...

Habitat and scale shape the demographic fate of the keystone sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus in Mediterranean macrophyte communities [PDF]
Demographic processes exert different degrees of control as individuals grow, and in species that span several habitats and spatial scales, this can influence our ability to predict their population at a particular life-history stage given the previous ...

Conservazione e gestione della naturalità negli ecosistemi marino-costieri. Il trapianto delle praterie di Posidonia oceanica [PDF]
Dal 1980 ad oggi, ogni 30 minuti, si è persa un’area ricoperta di fanerogame marine equivalente ad 1 campo di calcio cioè, nel tempo di gioco di una partita, 3 campi di fanerogame marine scompaiono”.

Using Posidonia Oceanica Fibres for the Mechanical Improvement of Sediments
Abstract This study presents the first step of research aiming at investigating the potential use of Posidonia Oceanica (PO) as a natural additive for the mechanical improvement of dredged sediments or soils. Leveraging image analysis methodologies, the correlation between Posidonia needle ball (NB) diameter and fibre length is explored,
