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 …

The recent focus on carbon trading has intensified interest in 'Blue Carbon'–carbon
sequestered by coastal vegetated ecosystems, particularly seagrasses. Most information on …

Seagrass ecosystems sequester carbon at disproportionately high rates compared to
terrestrial ecosystems and represent a powerful potential contributor to climate change …

Seagrass distribution is controlled by light availability, especially at the deepest edge of the
meadow. Light attenuation due to both natural and anthropogenically-driven processes …

Seagrass meadows rank among the most significant organic carbon (Corg) sinks on earth.
We examined the variability in seagrass soil Corg stocks and composition across Australia …

The actual estimates of carbon stocks beneath seagrass meadows worldwide are derived
from few data, resulting in a tendency to generalize global carbon stocks from a very limited …

Rising sea water temperature will play a significant role in responses of the world's seagrass
meadows to climate change. In this study, we investigated seasonal and latitudinal variation …

Seagrass beds act as blue carbon sinks globally as they enhance the trap** of recalcitrant
(ie, low biodegradability) organic carbon in their sediments. Recent studies also show that …

Biotic and abiotic factors influence the accumulation of organic carbon (C org) in seagrass
ecosystems. We surveyed Posidonia sinuosa meadows growing in different water depths to …

The effect of shading on the seagrass Posidonia sinuosa Cambridge et Kuo was
investigated to identify mechanisms that prolong its survival during periods of low light and …
