Drivers of the Low Metabolic Rates of Seagrass Meadows in the Red Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Tropical seagrass meadows are highly productive ecosystems that thrive in oligotrophic environments. The Red Sea is characterized by strong N–S latitudinal nutrient and temperature gradients, which constrain pelagic productivity.

Diverse methylotrophic methanogenic archaea cause high methane emissions from seagrass meadows. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance Seagrass meadows colonize shallow coastlines around the world and represent sites of intense carbon cycling. Due to their capacity to produce methane, seagrass ecosystems constitute net sources of methane to the atmosphere. Here, we identify

Trait gradients inform predictions of seagrass meadows changes to future warming. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Comparing populations across temperature gradients can inform how global warming will impact the structure and function of ecosystems. Shoot density, morphometry and productivity of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica to temperature variation was quantified ...

High variability of Blue Carbon storage in seagrass meadows at the estuary scale. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Seagrass meadows are considered important natural carbon sinks due to their capacity to store organic carbon (Corg) in sediments. However, the spatial heterogeneity of carbon storage in seagrass sediments needs to be better understood to improve accuracy

Self-organized sulfide-driven traveling pulses shape seagrass meadows. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Seagrasses provide multiple ecosystem services and act as intense carbon sinks in coastal regions around the globe but are threatened by multiple anthropogenic pressures, leading to enhanced seagrass mortality that reflects in the spatial self ...

Hydrodynamics across seagrass meadows and its impacts on Indonesian coastal ecosystems: A review
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Seagrass canopies are important components of the world’s coastal environments providing critical ecological services. Nearshore hydrodynamics, i.e., waves and currents, are essential in controlling the ecological processes across coastal environments ...
