Contribution of Seagrass Blue Carbon Toward Carbon Neutral Policies in a Touristic and Environmentally-Friendly Island

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Estimates of organic carbon (Corg) storage by seagrass meadows which consider inter-habitat variability are essential to understand their potential to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) and derive robust global and regional estimates of blue carbon storage ...

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Recovery of donor meadows of posidonia sinuosa and posidonia australis contributes to sustainable seagrass transplantation [PDF]

, 2012
Donor meadow recovery is important in deciding whether removal of material from natural seagrass meadows is a sustainable activity. Thus an investigation into meadow regrowth was undertaken as part of a large-scale seagrass rehabilitation effort in ...

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 ...

Sediment Characteristics Determine the Flowering Effort of Zostera noltei Meadows Inhabiting a Human-Dominated Lagoon

Plants, 2021
Recent studies have shown increasing Zostera noltei meadows in areas modified by anthropogenic activities. However, it is not entirely clear whether this trend of expansion could be linked to a greater reproductive effort in the species.

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

The Role of Herbivory in Structuring Tropical Seagrass Ecosystem Service Delivery

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Seagrass meadows support key ecosystem services, via provision of food directly for herbivores, and indirectly to their predators. The importance of herbivores in seagrass meadows has been well-documented, but the links between food webs and ecosystem ...

Widespread Bomb Fishing in Indo‐Pacific Archipelago Revealed Through Machine Learning Accelerated Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
AI‐accelerated passive acoustic monitoring reveals extensive bomb fishing within the Spermonde Archipelago, with annual incidents numbering in the thousands. ABSTRACT Bomb fishing is recognised as the most destructive fishing practice that can be performed in our oceans.

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.
