Impacts of dredging and restoration on sedimentary carbon stocks in seagrass meadows of Pari Island, Indonesia [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe effects of dredging and restoration on carbon sequestration in seagrass sediments is not well understood. Our knowledge is derived from few studies conducted in areas affected by dredging or restoration, the majority of which are from temperate ...

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 community metabolism: Assessing the carbon sink capacity of seagrass meadows [PDF]
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2010 The metabolic rates of seagrass communities were synthesized on the basis of a data set on seagrass community metabolism containing 403 individual estimates derived from a total of 155 different sites. Gross primary production (GPP) rates (mean ± SE = 224.9 ± 11.1 mmol O 2 m

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.

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 ...
