Sediment composition influences microplastic trapping in seagrass meadows

Environmental Pollution
Seagrass meadows are highly-valued coastal ecosystems that have the potential to act as sinks for microplastic pollution through their particle-trapping capabilities. Using wave tank simulations, this study tested how microplastic capture can be affected by particle size, sediment composition, and the presence of seagrass (cores collected from two ...

Seagrass Meadow Condition Assessment: A Case Study of Seagrass Meadows in Pulau Banyak District, Aceh Singkil

Jurnal Biologi Tropis
Seagrass beds are one of the coastal ecosystems that have an important role in maintaining the balance of the marine environment. Indonesia is known for its rich seagrass species but not much has been reported, especially in Aceh waters.This study aims to identify and analyse the distribution and condition of seagrass health through the percentage ...

First Report on the Distribution and Extension of Seagrass Meadows in Quitasueño Coral Bank, Southwestern Caribbean

Acta Biológica Colombiana
Seagrass beds constitute one of the world’s most productive marine ecosystems and are a source of food and shelter for a wide variety of species. The largest extension of seagrass meadows in the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve (Seaflower BR) is found around

A sentinel watching over inter-tidal seagrass phenology across Western Europe and North Africa

Communications Earth & Environment
Seagrasses are marine flowering plants that form extensive meadows from the inter-tidal zone up to ~50 m depth. As biological and ecological Essential Biodiversity Variables, seagrass cover and composition provide a wide range of ecosystem services ...

Sediment microbial communities throughout seagrass meadow decline

, 2022
Background: Seagrasses influence surface sediments forming a specific environment for diverse, abundant, and active microbial communities. Although a major decline in seagrass meadows has been reported in the Mediterranean Sea, little is known about how the sediment microbial communities underlying these meadows respond to such an event.

Habitat selection of the pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis and the blue crab Callinectes sapidus in an estuary in southern Brazil: influence of salinity and submerged seagrass meadows

Nauplius, 2014
This study was conducted in two estuarine inlets (Saco da Mangueira and Saco do Arraial) at the Patos Lagoon estuary, southern Brazil. The changes in relative abundance and size of post-larvae and juvenile shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis and juvenile ...
