Citizen Science Driven Big Data Collection Requires Improved and Inclusive Societal Engagement
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Marine ecosystems are in a state of crisis worldwide due to anthropogenic stressors, exacerbated by generally diminished ocean literacy. In other sectors, big data and technological advances are opening our horizons towards improved knowledge and ...

Demersal Fish Assemblages in NE Atlantic Seagrass and Kelp
Diversity, 2020 Global fisheries are in decline, calling for urgent evidence-based action. One such action is the identification and protection of fishery-associated habitats such as seagrass meadows and kelp forests, both of which have suffered long-term loss and ...

Decreasing seagrass density negatively influences associated fauna [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Seagrass meadows globally are disappearing at a rapid rate with physical disturbances being one of the major drivers of this habitat loss. Disturbance of seagrass can lead to fragmentation, a reduction in shoot density, canopy height and coverage, and ...

Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]
, 2013 It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

Sowing the Seeds of Seagrass Recovery Using Hessian Bags
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Seagrass meadows are an important wetland habitat that have been degraded globally but have an important carbon storage role. In order to expand the restoration of these productive and biodiverse habitats methods are required that can be used for large ...

Historical Analysis Exposes Catastrophic Seagrass Loss for the United Kingdom
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The spatial extent of seagrass is poorly mapped, and knowledge of historical loss is limited. Here, we collated empirical and qualitative data using systematic review methods to provide unique analysis on seagrass occurrence and loss in the United ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Excess nutrients shift the ecological balance of coastal ecosystems, and this eutrophication is an increasing problem across the globe. Nutrient levels may be routinely measured, but monitoring rarely attempts to determine the source of these nutrients ...

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.
