Water, 2021 Some species of seagrasses (e.g., Zostera marina and Posidonia oceanica) have declined in the Mediterranean, at least locally. Others are progressing, helped by sea warming, such as Cymodocea nodosa and the non-native Halophila stipulacea. The decline of

Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Blue carbon sequestration in seagrass meadows has been proposed as a low-risk, nature-based solution to offset carbon emissions and reduce the effects of climate change. Although the timescale of seagrass carbon burial is too short to offset emissions of

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 ...

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 ...

Canopy Accumulation: Are Seagrass Meadows a Sink of Microplastics?
Oceans, 2021 A growing body of research is documenting the accumulation of microplastics within marine sediments around the world. The hydrodynamic influences of seagrasses in coastal environments are shown to increase sedimentation of finer particles and as a result

Seagrass restoration enhances "blue carbon" sequestration in coastal waters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Seagrass meadows are highly productive habitats that provide important ecosystem services in the coastal zone, including carbon and nutrient sequestration.

Seagrass Meadows Reduce Wind-Wave Driven Sediment Resuspension in a Sheltered Environment
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Seagrass meadows are prominent in many coastal zones worldwide and significant contributors to global primary production. The large bottom roughness (or canopy) created by seagrass meadows substantially alters near-bed hydrodynamics and sediment ...

Seagrass Meadows under the Changing Climate: A Review of the Impacts of Climate Stressors
Research in Ecology, 2022 Seagrass meadows provide important ecological functions, particularly by serving as carbon sinks and breeding grounds for marine species. Climate change has threatened seagrass communities, causing their replacement, loss and increased vulnerability ...
