Socio-Ecological System perspective of seagrass ecosystem in Wakatobi

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract The Socio-Ecological System (SES) perspective is widely used to identify and explain the relationship between seagrass ecosystem and their dependent community. These relationships can be recognized when humans utilize the seagrass ecosystem that benefits as a dependent community.

Seagrass Ecosystem Services and Their Variability across Genera and Geographical Regions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Threats to and loss of seagrass ecosystems globally, impact not only natural resources but also the lives of people who directly or indirectly depend on these systems. Seagrass ecosystems play a multi-functional role in human well-being, e.g.

Seagrass structural and elemental indicators reveal high nutrient availability within a tropical lagoon in Panama [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Seagrass meadows are valued coastal habitats that provide ecological and economic benefits around the world. Despite their importance, many meadows are in decline, driven by a variety of anthropogenic impacts.

How Turbidity Mediates the Combined Effects of Nutrient Enrichment and Herbivory on Seagrass Ecosystems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
While nutrient enrichment and herbivory have been well recognized as the main driving factors of seagrass meadow fragmentation and degradation, there is limited understanding of how their relative importance shifts across large spatial scales where ...

Mangroves enhance the biomass of coral reef fish communities in the Caribbean [PDF]

, 2004
Mangrove forests are one of the world's most threatened tropical ecosystems with global loss exceeding 35% (ref. 1). Juvenile coral reef fish often inhabit mangroves, but the importance of these nurseries to reef fish population dynamics has not been ...

Sponges facilitate primary producers in a Bahamas seagrass system

Marine Biology, 2021
Seagrass beds are important coastal ecosystems worldwide that are shaped by facilitative interactions. Consequently, it is important to identify which taxa facilitate seagrasses. In other ecosystems, sponges contribute to the maintenance of diverse and productive systems through their facilitation of foundation species (e.g., mangroves) and the ...

Toward a Coordinated Global Observing System for Seagrasses and Marine Macroalgae [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
In coastal waters around the world, the dominant primary producers are benthic macrophytes, including seagrasses and macroalgae, that provide habitat structure and food for diverse and abundant biological communities and drive ecosystem processes. Seagrass meadows and macroalgal forests play key roles for coastal societies, contributing to fishery ...

Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]

, 2013
It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

Waves in Seagrass Systems: Review and Technical Recommendations [PDF]

, 2006
Abstract : Seagrasses are rooted flowering marine plants that provide a variety of ecosystem services to the coastal areas they colonize. Attenuation of currents and waves and sediment stabilization are often listed among these services. Although we have a reasonably good understanding of how currents affect seagrasses and vice-versa, less is known ...
