Seagrass and macrophyte mediated CO2 and CH4 dynamics in shallow coastal waters. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Seagrass meadows are among the most important coastal/ marine ecosystems for long-term carbon storage and conditioning of coastal waters. A combined air-water flux of CO2 and CH4 from the seagrass meadows was studied for the first time from Asia's ...

Emerging Sensor Platforms Allow for Seagrass Extent Mapping in a Turbid Estuary and from the Meadow to Ecosystem Scale

Remote Sensing, 2021
Seagrass meadows are globally important habitats, protecting shorelines, providing nursery areas for fish, and sequestering carbon. However, both anthropogenic and natural environmental stressors have led to a worldwide reduction seagrass habitats.

High Methane Production and Emission From Tropical Seagrasses Through Methylotrophic Methanogenesis

Geophysical Research Letters
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas that reduces the carbon sequestration capacity of seagrass meadows. However, our understanding of CH4 production and emission from these important carbon sinks is limited.

Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile at Its Westernmost Biogeographical Limit (Northwestern Alboran Sea): Meadow Features and Plant Phenology

Oceans, 2023
Meadows of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica inhabit most infralittoral bottoms of the Mediterranean Sea and are considered one of the main climax stages of the infralittoral environment.

New Tools to Identify the Location of Seagrass Meadows: Marine Grazers as Habitat Indicators

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Seagrasses are hugely valuable to human life, but the global extent of seagrass meadows remains unclear. As evidence of their value, a United Nations program exists (http://data.unep-wcmc.org/datasets/7) to try and assess their distribution and there has

A halocarbon survey from a seagrass dominated subtropical lagoon, Ria Formosa (Portugal): flux pattern and isotopic composition [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
In this study we report fluxes of chloromethane (CH3Cl), bromomethane (CH3Br), iodomethane (CH3I), and bromoform (CHBr3) from two sampling campaigns (summer and spring) in the seagrass dominated subtropical lagoon Ria Formosa, Portugal.

Seagrass canopy structure mediates putative bacterial pathogen removal potential

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Bacterial pathogen removal function in seagrass meadows is gaining attention worldwide, with enhancing particle sedimentation as the main potential mechanism.

Elevated Turbidity and the Nutrient Removal Capacity of Seagrass

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Seagrass meadows provide a range of important ecosystem functions that can be influenced by anthropogenic pressures. Sediment loading from coastal land use mismanagement can elevate turbidity and reduce seabed light levels, thereby impacting seagrass ...

Seagrass Recovery Following Marine Heat Wave Influences Sediment Carbon Stocks

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Worldwide, seagrass meadows accumulate significant stocks of organic carbon (C), known as “blue” carbon, which can remain buried for decades to centuries.

Export from seagrass meadows contributes to seagrass C-sequestration [PDF]

, 2017
Seagrasses export a substantial portion of their primary production, both in particulate and dissolved organic form, but the fate of this export production remains unaccounted for in terms of seagrass carbon sequestration. Here we review available evidence on the fate of seagrass carbon export to conclude that this represents a significant contribution
