Mapping of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile Meadows Using Geographic Information Systems: A case study in Ufakdere - Kaş (Mediterranean Sea)

International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics, 2016
Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile 1813 is an endemic and the most widespread seagrass species of the Mediterranean Sea. Seagrass meadows are one of the most productive ecosystems on Earth, providing habitat to numerous organisms.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Macroherbivore Grazing in a Multi-Species Tropical Seagrass Meadow of the Great Barrier Reef

Diversity, 2021
Macroherbivory is an important process in seagrass meadows worldwide; however, the impact of macroherbivores on seagrasses in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has received little attention.

Evaluating the seagrass ecological condition and habitat extent in Karimunjawa National Park, Jepara Indonesia

Jurnal Kelautan Tropis
In the coastal ecosystem, seagrass meadows play a vital role in delivering ecosystem services such as provision, control, and support. However, this ecosystem is one of the most threatened in the coastal environment, and it has been degraded as a result ...

Assessing the potential for satellite image monitoring of seagrass thermal dynamics: for inter- and shallow sub-tidal seagrasses in the inshore Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, Australia

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2018
Seagrass meadows are at increasing risk of thermal stress and recent work has shown that water temperature around seagrass meadows could be used as an indicator for seagrass condition. Satellite thermal data have not been linked to the thermal properties

Seed to meadow - developing intertidal seagrass restoration

, 2023
In coastal waters around the globe, seagrasses form the basis of productive ecosystems. Unfortunately, these valuable ecosystems have suffered massive losses during the last century and are in dire need of effective conservation measures. In this thesis, we investigated if and how eelgrass (Zostera marina) can be restored in the intertidal Wadden Sea ...

The status of Indonesia’s seagrass meadows

, 2018
Indonesia stores 2% of the world’s blue carbon in its seagrass meadows, which are under threat from human activities like coastal development. Without a long-term, large-scale monitoring effort, the continual decline and hopeful recovery of this vital ecosystem will be very difficult to track.

Effects of common seagrass restoration methods on ecosystem structure in subtropical seagrass meadows

Marine Environmental Research, 2014
Seagrass meadows near population centers are subject to frequent disturbance from vessel groundings. Common seagrass restoration methods include filling excavations and applying fertilizer to encourage seagrass recruitment. We sampled macrophytes, soil structure, and macroinvertebrate infauna at unrestored and recently restored vessel grounding ...

Impacts of Marine Plastic Pollution on Seagrass Meadows and Ecosystem Services in Southeast Asia

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Seagrass meadows provide ecosystem services (ES) that are critical for humanity. Southeast Asia (SEA) is a hotspot of seagrass diversity, and the region’s seagrass-derived ES have been valued at over $100 billion annually; however, the health and extent ...
