Seagrass-Watch: increasing the charisma of seagrass through education and awareness
, 2012 Despite their important ecological role, the public’s perception of seagrasses is not as great as other marine ecosystems. With global seagrass losses reported to be equivalent to one football field very 30 minutes, seagrass ecosystems are facing a ...

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants
Oikos, EarlyView.Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

THE POTENTIAL OF CARBON STOCKS IN SEAGRASS MEADOW IN THE WATERS OF MRICAN BEACH, BATULAWANG BEACH AND LAENDRA BEACH, KEMUJAN ISLAND, KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS [PDF]
Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2022 Seagrass meadows in coastal ecosystems can absorb CO2 through photosynthesis. The results of carbon biomass absorption from the photosynthesis process of seagrass are stored in leaf, root, and rhizome tissues.

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 ...

Oikos, EarlyView.The diversity of ecological interactions, both trophic and non‐trophic, is central to understanding the assembly of communities. However, we have yet to study non‐trophic processes through their action on ecosystem compartments such as detritus involved in both recycling and habitat provisioning.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract As the environmental crisis grows, concerns over its impact on mental health are rising. A growing body of research is investigating novel ecological emotions, with eco‐anxiety garnering significant attention. Yet much of the discourse has centred around clinical implications, leaving environmental practitioners feeling powerless to address ...

Does artificial seagrass resemble natural seagrass?
, 2023 Seagrass have an important role in coastal habitats. However, its existence is now under threat. Can the production of artificial seagrass mimic the function of natural seagrass? This paper discusses the potential of artificial seagrass to mimic natural seagrass.
