The global distribution of seagrass meadows [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Abstract Seagrass meadows globally are under pressure with worldwide loss and degradation, but there is a growing recognition of the global importance of seagrass ecosystem services, particularly as a major carbon sink and as fisheries habitat.

Decadal Remote Sensing Analysis of Seagrass Changes in Palu Bay, Central Sulawesi
Indonesian Journal of Geography, 2023 Seagrass meadows provide a variety of material, non-material and regulatory coastal ecosystem service; however, as the distribution of seagrass beds changes over time due to both anthropogenic activities and natural factors, it is important to monitor ...

Characterisation and Dynamics of an Emerging Seagrass Meadow
Remote Sensing, 2023 Seagrasses are habitat-forming species that support biodiversity and a wide range of associated ecosystem services, from blue carbon capture to providing nursery areas for a variety of organisms. Their decline has been documented worldwide and is attributed to human impacts ranging from habitat loss and eutrophication to the effects of climate change ...

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 ...

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.
