recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.4210

Abstract: Seagrass, a vital primary producer habitat, is crucial for maintaining high biodiversity and offers numerous ecosystem services globally. The increasing severity and frequency of marine heatwaves, exacerbated by climate change, pose significant risks to seagrass… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.4230

Abstract: Worldwide seagrass habitats are under severe anthropogenic threat. In the United Kingdom (UK), the health of habitats of the widely distributed Zostera species is particularly threatened by eutrophication that can lead to detrimental macroalgae overgrowth.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70092

Abstract: Seagrass meadows serve as nursery and permanent habitat for numerous fish species—an ecosystem function influenced by structural complexity. Rapid seagrass loss over recent decades has promoted restoration efforts aimed at recovering meadows and their ecological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70667

Abstract: ABSTRACT Globally, anthropogenic climate change has caused declines of seagrass ecosystems necessitating proactive restoration approaches that would ideally anticipate future climate scenarios, such as marine warming. In eastern Australia, estuaries with meadows of the endangered… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8579

Abstract: Abstract Seagrass meadows capture and store large amounts of carbon in the sediment beneath, thereby serving as efficient sinks of atmospheric CO2. Carbon sequestration levels may however differ greatly among meadows depending on, among other… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3180

Abstract: What happens in meadows after populations of natural grazers rebound following centuries of low abundance? Many seagrass ecosystems are now experiencing this phenomenon with the recovery of green turtles (Chelonia mydas), large-bodied marine herbivores that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3648

Abstract: Abstract Coastal vegetated habitats such as seagrasses are known to play a critical role in carbon cycling and the potential to mitigate climate change, as blue carbon habitats have been repeatedly highlighted. However, little information… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.10718

Abstract: Non-seagrass sources account for ∼ 50% of the sediment organic carbon (SOC) in many seagrass beds, a fraction that may derive from external organic matter (OM) advected into the meadow and trapped by the seagrass… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11545

Abstract: Whether pristine ecosystems with intact trophic structures are more resilient to anthropogenic pressures than ecosystems facing human exploitation is a pressing question to ecological theory and management. For coastal vegetated ecosystems such as kelp forests… read more here.
