A Review of Remote Sensing Approaches for Monitoring Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Mangroves, Seagrassesand Salt Marshes during 2010–2018

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Blue carbon (BC) ecosystems are an important coastal resource, as they provide a range of goods and services to the environment. They play a vital role in the global carbon cycle by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate ...

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

LOS PASTOS MARINOS DEL GOLFO DE GUANAHACABIBES, PINAR DEL RÍO, CUBA/ Seagrasses at Guanahacabibes, Pinar del Río, Cuba

open access: yesRevista de Investigaciones Marinas, 2017
Para actualizar el conocimiento sobre el estado de los pastos marinos en el golfo de Guanahacabibes se realizaron muestreos en 24 estaciones. Los muestreos se hicieron con un marco de 25 x 25 cm que se lanzó al azar 12 veces en transectos de 30 m.

Epibionts and Epiphytes in Seagrass Habitats: A Global Analysis of Their Ecological Roles

open access: yesSci
Seagrass ecosystems support complex biological interactions that shape marine community structure and ecosystem functioning. Thanks to their structural complexity, they support heterogeneous communities and interact with associated benthic invertebrates ...

Posidonia oceanica Leaves as a Natural Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) Composites: Characterization and Biodegradation Assessment in Seawater

open access: yesJournal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
This study shows that incorporating 5–10 wt.% Posidonia oceanica, with or without micro‐talc, in PBSA preserves thermal stability, modifying crystallization behavior, and maintains good filler dispersion and interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties are moderately stiffened.

Does Warming Enhance the Effects of Eutrophication in the Seagrass Posidonia oceanica?

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Seagrass meadows are disappearing at rates comparable to those reported for mangroves, coral reefs, and tropical rainforests. One of the main causes of their decline is the so-called cultural eutrophication, i.e., the input of abnormal amounts of ...

Bay Scallops, Argopecten irradians, in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
There is no evidence that a commercial bay scallop fishery exists anywhere in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. No data concerning scallop abundance or distribution was found for Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...
