Temporal trends of organic carbon accumulation in seagrass meadows from the northern Mexican Caribbean

, 2020
Carbon sequestration in seagrass meadows mitigates the currently rising CO2 atmospheric levels, as these ecosystems are highly productive and preserve sediment organic carbon over long periods.

Retention of microplastics in Halophila decipiens seagrass meadows

Marine Environmental Research
Microplastic (MP) trapping and storage by seagrasses and sediments highlight their role as potential long-term reservoirs for plastic particles. This study evaluated the presence of MPs in Halophila decipiens meadows and its associated sediments in two localities, Pichilingue and Los Aripes, in the southwest Gulf of California.

Habitat characteristics provide insights of carbon storage in seagrass meadows.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018
Seagrass meadows provide multiple ecosystem services, yet they are among the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Because of their role as carbon sinks, protection and restoration of seagrass meadows contribute to climate change mitigation.

Synchronous flowering of estuarine seagrass meadows

Aquatic Botany, 1998
Abstract A hierarchical sampling scheme was used to describe variation in the timing and intensity of flowering of multiple meadows of two species of seagrasses: Posidonia australis and Zostera capricorni. Sampling was stratified across a range of spatial scales: among sites and depths (P.

Baseline and Monitoring Methods for Seagrass Meadows

Journal of Environmental Management, 1996
Seagrass meadows are one of the most vulnerable habitats of coastal or estuarine waters in Australia. Their continued existence near centres of human population is in peril, but all levels of government are now under pressure to protect these valuable habitats. The first step is to measure the health and abundance of the seagrasses. To help managers to
