Seagrass Carbon Stocks And Sequestration In Habitat Impacted By Tin Mining Activities In Bangka Belitung, Indonesia

open access: yesGeography, Environment, Sustainability
Seagrass meadows are important blue carbon ecosystems. They are threatened by various anthropogenic activities, including mining, which affect the ecological health.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

A sentinel watching over inter-tidal seagrass phenology across Western Europe and North Africa

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Seagrasses are marine flowering plants that form extensive meadows from the inter-tidal zone up to ~50 m depth. As biological and ecological Essential Biodiversity Variables, seagrass cover and composition provide a wide range of ecosystem services ...

First Report on the Distribution and Extension of Seagrass Meadows in Quitasueño Coral Bank, Southwestern Caribbean

open access: yesActa Biológica Colombiana
Seagrass beds constitute one of the world’s most productive marine ecosystems and are a source of food and shelter for a wide variety of species. The largest extension of seagrass meadows in the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve (Seaflower BR) is found around

Habitat selection of the pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis and the blue crab Callinectes sapidus in an estuary in southern Brazil: influence of salinity and submerged seagrass meadows

open access: yesNauplius, 2014
This study was conducted in two estuarine inlets (Saco da Mangueira and Saco do Arraial) at the Patos Lagoon estuary, southern Brazil. The changes in relative abundance and size of post-larvae and juvenile shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis and juvenile ...

Export from seagrass meadows contributes to seagrass C-sequestration

open access: yes, 2017
Seagrasses export a substantial portion of their primary production, both in particulate and dissolved organic form, but the fate of this export production remains unaccounted for in terms of seagrass carbon sequestration. Here we review available evidence on the fate of seagrass carbon export to conclude that this represents a significant contribution

Impact of seagrass meadows on wave currents

open access: yes, 2021
This thesis presents the results obtained in the study realized in the (CIEM) wave flume at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, (UPC) with the purpose of evaluating the impact of seagrass meadows on wave currents to determine their feasibility as nature base solutions (NBS) against such hazards.
