Recent trend reversal for declining European seagrass meadows [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Seagrass meadows are important but one of the most threatened ecosystems globally. Here the authors analyse data about extent and density of seagrasses in Europe from 1869 to 2016, and find evidence of recent trend reversal for declining European ...

Methane Emissions From Nordic Seagrass Meadow Sediments [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Shallow coastal soft bottoms are important carbon sinks. Submerged vegetation has been shown to sequester carbon, increase sedimentary organic carbon (Corg) and thus suppress greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Seagrass contribution to blue carbon in a shallow karstic coastal area of the Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Seagrass meadows provide multiple ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration. However, seagrass meadows are among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide.

Using Artificial Seagrass for Promoting Positive Feedback Mechanisms in Seagrass Restoration
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Worldwide, seagrass meadows are under threat. Consequently, there is a strong need for seagrass restoration to guarantee the provision of related ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration and habitat provision.

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2020 Tropical seagrass meadows and coral reefs often function as interconnected marine habitats, but they are often studied and managed as homogenous units. As macrohabitats, seagrass meadows provide important benefits to adjacent reef ecosystems by acting as

Eutrophication reduces seagrass contribution to coastal food webs
Ecosphere, 2021 Food sources and food web structure in seagrass meadows are important determinants of ecosystem functions and services. However, there is little information on the effect of eutrophication on food source contributions and food web structure in seagrass ...

Diversity, 2020 Seagrass meadows are an important habitat for a variety of animals, including ecologically and socioeconomically important species. Seagrass meadows are recognised as providing species with nursery grounds, and as a migratory pathway to adjacent habitats.

Variability of UK seagrass sediment carbon: Implications for blue carbon estimates and marine conservation management. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Seagrass meadows provide a multitude of ecosystem services, including a capacity to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) within their sediments. Seagrass research in the UK is lacking and there is no published data on sediment carbon (C) within UK seagrass ...
