Global Patterns and Drivers of Seagrass Biomass, Net Primary Production and Meadow Structure

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We decipher global patterns in seagrass growth and structure to advance seagrass science, facilitate multidisciplinary research, and promote effective management strategies and policy development for seagrass habitats. Location: Global. Time period: 1975 to 2024. Major taxa studied: Seagrasses—marine angiosperms.

The grazing impact of megaherbivores on sediment accumulation and stabilization functions of seagrass meadows in a subtropical coral reef lagoon

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 7, Page 1835-1848, July 2025.
Abstract Seagrasses thrive in shallow lagoons between land and fringing coral reefs, serving as a buffer that mitigates the propagation of environmental stressors from land to reefs. However, mass grazing by megaherbivores poses a significant threat to seagrass loss, impacting the sustainability of tropical coastal habitats. Despite the urgency of this

Lessons learnt from revisiting decades of seagrass restoration projects in Cockburn Sound, southwestern Australia

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
Seagrass loss is impacting coastal communities globally, and significant efforts are being spent to address this loss through restoration. Yet, the success of restoration projects and methodologies has rarely been assessed over decades. In this case study, we reviewed past and continuing seagrass restoration projects (66 restoration sites from 1990s to

How much seagrass does a dugong need? Metabolic rate of live wild dugongs, Dugong dugon, determined through indirect calorimetry (oxygen consumption)

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Deterioration of seagrass beds worldwide has raised concern about the future of dugongs because almost all aspects of their life history depend on availability of seagrass. Understanding their energy metabolism and consequently how much seagrass they need will inform protective conservation strategies for dugongs. This study determined resting
