DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00519-2
Abstract: The intensity of major storm events generated within the Atlantic Basin is projected to rise with the warming of the oceans, which is likely to exacerbate coastal erosion. Nature-based flood defence has been proposed as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12237-020-00765-6
Abstract: Seagrass meadows are carbon (C) sinks and nitrogen (N)-limited ecosystems that experience degradation from climate change and anthropogenic stressors, including prop-scarring disturbances by boating vessels. To better understand the variability in C and N pools… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13280-018-1115-y
Abstract: Seagrasses, flowering marine plants that form underwater meadows, play a significant global role in supporting food security, mitigating climate change and supporting biodiversity. Although progress is being made to conserve seagrass meadows in select areas,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113280
Abstract: Coastal pollution, including nutrient loading, can negatively impact seagrass health and cover and may consequently alter soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and preservation. Key to understanding how eutrophication impacts SOC cycling in seagrass ecosystems is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2018.01.059
Abstract: Seagrass meadows provide multiple ecosystem services, yet they are among the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Because of their role as carbon sinks, protection and restoration of seagrass meadows contribute to climate change mitigation. Blue… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-32249-w
Abstract: The loss of natural carbon sinks, such as seagrass meadows, contributes to grenhouse gas emissions and, thus, global warming. Whereas seagrass meadows are declining in temperate and tropical regions, they are expected to expand into… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2106628119
Abstract: Significance Seagrass meadows colonize shallow coastlines around the world and represent sites of intense carbon cycling. Due to their capacity to produce methane, seagrass ecosystems constitute net sources of methane to the atmosphere. Here, we… read more here.
