Taking the Pulse of Resilience in Conserving Seagrass Meadows

Integrative And Comparative Biology
Synopsis Foundational habitats such as seagrasses and coral reefs are at severe risk globally from climate warming. Infectious disease associated with warming events is both a cause of decline and an indicator of stress in both habitats.

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.

The dual role of detritus as resource and habitat: integrating non‐trophic processes to ecosystem dynamics

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The diversity of ecological interactions, both trophic and non‐trophic, is central to understanding the assembly of communities. However, we have yet to study non‐trophic processes through their action on ecosystem compartments such as detritus involved in both recycling and habitat provisioning.

Microplastics Toxicity and Life‐Threatening Impact on the Arabian Gulf: A Critical Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as a pervasive pollutant in marine environments worldwide, yet the Arabian Gulf remains underrepresented in global assessments despite its ecological and economic significance. The estimated mass of MPs entering the water of the Gulf ranged from 155 to 413.4 kt per year.

Vibrio Community Structure Shapes the Diversity of Carbenicillin‐Hydrolysing Class A β‐Lactamase Circulating in European Coastal Environments

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vibrio communities shape carbenicillinase diversity in European coasts. Sediments serve as reservoirs of antibiotic‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus, which can move into the water column and accumulate in bivalves. This spreads β‐lactamase resistance and raises human exposure risks to antibiotic‐resistant pathogenic Vibrio, especially as higher seawater ...

Leveraging Microbes for Sustainable Development Goal 14 Progress

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Microbial systems can contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water efforts by transforming plastics, removing excess nitrogen, supporting coastal restoration and improving aquaculture sustainability. Advancing these applications requires field‐scale validation, ecological risk assessment and innovative deployment strategies ...

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 ...

On the wave attenuation properties of seagrass meadows [PDF]

Coastal Engineering
The wave attenuation properties of seagrass meadows were investigated in a flume facility using dynamicallyscaled models of seagrass exposed to regular long crested waves. Experiments were conducted for 66 wave conditions and with four plant densities; waves were measured with eight resistance wave gauges.

Quantifying sedimentary ’blue carbon’ in relation to canopy cover in the seagrass meadows of Turneffe Atoll, Belize

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionSeagrass sediments are important ‘blue carbon’ reservoirs which store climatically significant quantities of organic carbon (Corg) at the global scale.
