The Seasonal Change Detection of Seagrass Extent using Google Earth Engine [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesSeagrass ecosystems in eastern Indonesia play a crucial role in blue carbon storage, slowing climate change by absorbing and storing carbon in their sediments for decades.

Clonality in seagrasses, emergent properties and seagrass landscapes [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005 Seagrasses are clonal monocots that dominate shallow subtidal coastal and estuarine environments worldwide. They are important for their relatively high productivity and their role in coastal sediment stabilization, as habitat and food for invertebrates, fishes, turtles, dugongs and manatees, and as a source for detrital food webs.

A quantitative technique for sampling motile macroinvertebrates in beds of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile [PDF]
, 2002 Techniques for sampling motile macroinvertebrates associated with Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows have mainly involved the use of hand-nets and suction samplers or collection by hand.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 While thermal priming and the relative role of epigenetic modifications have been widely studied in terrestrial plants, their roles remain unexplored in seagrasses so far.

The movement ecology of seagrasses [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 A movement ecology framework is applied to enhance our understanding of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of movement in seagrasses: marine, clonal, flowering plants. Four life-history stages of seagrasses can move: pollen, sexual propagules, vegetative fragments and the spread of individuals through clonal growth.

Fishers’ local knowledge strengthens seagrass restoration planning
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceSeagrass restoration is increasingly guided by habitat suitability models, yet restoration outcomes depend on more than biophysical suitability alone. In coastal social-ecological systems, fishers and anglers hold fine-scale, time-integrated knowledge of

Non‐seagrass carbon contributions to seagrass sediment blue carbon [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2017 AbstractNon‐seagrass sources account for ∼ 50% of the sediment organic carbon (SOC) in many seagrass beds, a fraction that may derive from external organic matter (OM) advected into the meadow and trapped by the seagrass canopy or produced in situ. If allochthonous carbon fluxes are responsible for the non‐seagrass SOC in a given seagrass bed, this ...

The natural recolonisation process of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile after the introduction of the Italo-algerian methane pipeline in the SW Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
, 2004 This work investigates the recolonisation process and patterns of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica after a man-induced impact. The installation of a methane pipeline connecting Italy and Tunisia destroyed a large seagrass bed in the South Mediterranean ...

The global distribution of seagrass meadows
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Seagrass meadows globally are under pressure with worldwide loss and degradation, but there is a growing recognition of the global importance of seagrass ecosystem services, particularly as a major carbon sink and as fisheries habitat.
