Marine biota is a great source of ecosystem services. Recently, the involvement of marine
organisms in biotechnological applications has been discovered and become useful for the …

Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems in coastal zones worldwide, but are also under
global threat. One of the major hurdles restricting the success of seagrass conservation and …

Seagrass meadows, key ecosystems supporting fisheries, carbon sequestration and coastal
protection, are globally threatened. In Europe, loss and recovery of seagrasses are reported …

Posidonia oceanica meadows are declining at alarming rates due to climate change and
human activities. Although P. oceanica is considered the most important and well-studied …

Seagrass communities provide critical ecosystem and provisioning services for both human
populations and a wide range of associated species globally. However, it has been reported …

We compiled published data in peer-review articles and grey literature reports, which we
appended with our own data, to assess the changes in areal extent, cover and shoot density …

In coastal waters around the world, the dominant primary producers are benthic
macrophytes, including seagrasses and macroalgae, that provide habitat structure and food …

The Arctic climate is changing rapidly. The warming and resultant longer open water periods
suggest a potential for expansion of marine vegetation along the vast Arctic coastline. We …

This paper focuses on the marine foundation eelgrass species, Zostera marina, along a
gradient from the northern Baltic Sea to the north‐east Atlantic. This vast region supports a …

Although seagrass-based indicators are widely used to assess coastal ecosystem status,
there is little universality in their application. Matching the plethora of available indicators to …
