Diversity, 2020 Seagrass meadows are an important habitat for a variety of animals, including ecologically and socioeconomically important species. Seagrass meadows are recognised as providing species with nursery grounds, and as a migratory pathway to adjacent habitats.

Variability of UK seagrass sediment carbon: Implications for blue carbon estimates and marine conservation management. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Seagrass meadows provide a multitude of ecosystem services, including a capacity to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) within their sediments. Seagrass research in the UK is lacking and there is no published data on sediment carbon (C) within UK seagrass ...

Seagrass restoration trials in tropical seagrass meadows of Kenya
Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2022 The degradation of seagrasses is becoming prevalent in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region due to anchor damage, sea urchin herbivory, extreme events such as cyclones and floods and anthropogenic factors such as pollution and sediment inflows. Consequently, there have been numerous efforts to advance the restoration of degraded seagrass beds in ...

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.

Evaluating the role of seagrass in Cenozoic CO2 variations [PDF]
, 2016 Marine seagrass angiosperms play an important role in carbon sequestration, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and binding it as organic matter. Carbon is stored in the plants themselves, but also in the sediments both in inorganic and organic

Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]
, 2013 It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...
