Caribbean-wide, long-term study of seagrass beds reveals local variations, shifts in community structure and occasional collapse.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The CARICOMP monitoring network gathered standardized data from 52 seagrass sampling stations at 22 sites (mostly Thalassia testudinum-dominated beds in reef systems) across the Wider Caribbean twice a year over the period 1993 to 2007 (and in some cases

Recruitment of Thalassia testudinum seedlings into physically disturbed seagrass beds [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2004
Thalassia testudinum seedling recruitment, survival, and growth were examined within physically disturbed seagrass beds in the Florida Keys. Two separate studies were conducted. In the first, a large-scale study, T. testudinum seedlings were surveyed and collected from a large seagrass disturbance (1560 m 2 ), 4.8 yr after the initial impact from a ...

Contrasting effects of rhizosphere and sediment microbiota on seagrass performance in response to a simulated marine heatwave

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2429-2446, September 2025.
We experimentally disrupted below‐ground microbial communities to test their role in the growth and survival of the seagrass Zostera muelleri under two marine heatwave scenarios. Seagrass leaf growth declined with rhizosphere microbiome disruption across all temperature and sediment conditions.

Long-Term Effects of Adding Nutrients to an Oligotrophic Coastal Environment [PDF]

, 2011
Management of ecological disturbances requires an understanding of the time scale and dynamics of community responses to disturbance events. To characterize long-term seagrass bed responses to nutrient enrichment, we established six study sites in ...

A New Conceptual Model of Tropical Seagrass Eutrophication: Evidence for Single Nutrient Management

Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Nutrient enrichment is one of the greatest threats to seagrass ecosystems globally. Current management is based on a temperate conceptual model of seagrass eutrophication where epiphytes and then phytoplankton cause light limitation and seagrass die‐off.

Global Review of Blue Carbon Ecosystem Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2025.
A thorough review of Blue Carbon Ecosystems' global and regional patterns in microbial diversity, functions, and distribution is currently missing. In this study, we have, for the first time, analysed 70 years (1930–2020) of data on archaeal, bacterial, and fungal diversity and reported functions in mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass ecosystems.

Comparing Cloud Mask Products for Seagrass Mapping Over Sentinel‐2 Imagery: Toward a First National Seagrass Map for Venezuela

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Despite providing many valuable ecosystem services, seagrasses are a threatened habitat and their global distribution is not fully known. For example, Venezuela lacks a national seagrass map. An established regional mapping approach for seagrass exists for the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, but requires a long time window to obtain ...
