Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Ecosystem engineers create habitat and provide conditions otherwise unavailable for the development of diverse communities. In marine soft-bottoms in particular, the biodiversity sustained by a matrix of relatively uniform sediments can be drastically ...

Tidal Inundation Decreases Carbon Dioxide Exchange in an Irish Atlantic Saltmarsh
Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Despite the growing interest in carbon cycling in tidal‐wetland ecosystems we lack sufficient understanding of the degree to which saltmarsh ecosystems sequester carbon and the ecosystem dynamics of carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, especially with tidal influence.

Sentinel-2 remote sensing of Zostera noltei-dominated intertidal seagrass meadows
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020 Accurate habitat mapping methods are urgently required for the monitoring, conservation, and management of blue carbon ecosystems and their associated services. This study focuses on exposed intertidal seagrass meadows, which play a major role in the functioning of nearshore ecosystems.

Characterization of a resilient seagrass meadow during a decline period
Scientia Marina, 2018 Seagrasses are globally threatened ecosystems with essential ecological roles. An important limitation in seagrass conservation efforts is the poor understanding of resilient meadows. The present work studies a meadow, which maintained a large population

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Seagrass meadows in the Sea of Marmara (SoM) are under unprecedented ecological stress due to cumulative anthropogenic pressures and climate‐driven changes, exacerbated by recent large‐scale disturbances such as the 2021 mucilage event. Their degradation threatens biodiversity, coastal stability and the broader ecological integrity of the ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Seagrass meadows fulfill many essential ecological functions, of which an important one is to stabilize sediment. Therefore, they are perceived as a nature‐based addition or alternative to conventional rigid coastal protection. The impact of seagrass meadows depends on their morphology, such as canopy height, shoot density, and spatial extent.

Differential coping capacities underlie the overall resistance of temperate seagrasses to herbivory
Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2024.Abstract Grazing can impart long‐lasting changes in vegetated ecosystems. How ecosystems respond to herbivory depends on the ecological and evolutionary histories of their foundational species. The overall ecosystem functioning and associated biodiversity depend on these responses but there is still little understanding on how the intensity and ...

The effect of Zostera noltei recolonization on N and P fluxes at the sediment/water interface
Marine Pollution BulletinWithin the scope of an ongoing seagrass active restoration program at Ria de Aveiro, Portugal, the present work aimed at evaluating the recovery of Zostera noltei meadow nutrient regulation ecosystem function, by mediating Nitrogen and Phosphorus biogeochemical processes, and translated on the nutrient fluxes (PO4-P, NOx-N and NH4-N) at the sediment ...
