Seagrass Meadows: Prospective Candidates for Bioactive Molecules

Molecules
Seagrass meadows consist of angiosperms that thrive fully submerged in marine environments and form distinct ecosystems. They provide essential support for many organisms, acting as nursery grounds for species of economic importance. Beyond their ecological roles, seagrasses and their associated microbiomes are rich sources of bioactive compounds with ...

Seagrass meadows in India and their certain ecosystem services [PDF]

, 2018
Seagrass meadows also known as marine prairies have attained tremendous significance and their services as ecosystem are greatly valued for food, feed, shelter, refuge marine biodiversity hotspots and nursery grounds to many marine vertebrates and ...

Impacts of Marine Plastic Pollution on Seagrass Meadows and Ecosystem Services in Southeast Asia

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Seagrass meadows provide ecosystem services (ES) that are critical for humanity. Southeast Asia (SEA) is a hotspot of seagrass diversity, and the region’s seagrass-derived ES have been valued at over $100 billion annually; however, the health and extent ...

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 ...

Quantifying sedimentary ’blue carbon’ in relation to canopy cover in the seagrass meadows of Turneffe Atoll, Belize

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionSeagrass sediments are important ‘blue carbon’ reservoirs which store climatically significant quantities of organic carbon (Corg) at the global scale.

Seagrass Meadow Condition Assessment: A Case Study of Seagrass Meadows in Pulau Banyak District, Aceh Singkil

Jurnal Biologi Tropis
Seagrass beds are one of the coastal ecosystems that have an important role in maintaining the balance of the marine environment. Indonesia is known for its rich seagrass species but not much has been reported, especially in Aceh waters.This study aims to identify and analyse the distribution and condition of seagrass health through the percentage ...

Significant carbonate burial in The Bahamas seagrass ecosystem

Environmental Research Letters
Seagrass meadows store significant amounts of carbonate (CaCO _3 ) in sediment, contributing to coastal protection but potentially offsetting their effectiveness as carbon sinks.

Satellite-based total suspended matter as an indicator of coastal surface blue-carbon distribution: a case study of two bays in Japan

Environmental Advances
Coastal blue-carbon ecosystems, particularly seagrass meadows, play a disproportionate role in global carbon sequestration. However, the spatial distribution of exported particulate organic matter (POM) remains poorly understood at large spatial scales ...

The role of intertidal seagrass Zostera spp. in sediment deposition and coastal stability in the Tay Estuary, Scotland [PDF]

, 2012
The Tay estuary is situated on the east coast of Scotland. The estuary is dominated by sediment biotopes, including mudflats which support sparse beds of two nationally scarce seagrass species, Zostera marina var. angustfolia (Hornem.) and Z.

Sediment properties influence seagrass sedimentary carbon stocks, challenging uniform blue carbon accounting

Frontiers in Marine Science
Seagrass meadows are increasingly recognised as important blue carbon ecosystems, yet large uncertainties in regional sedimentary organic carbon (Corg) stocks limit their inclusion in greenhouse gas accounting.
