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 …

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

Habitat degradation and loss are severely affecting macroalgal forests worldwide, and their
successful mitigation depends on the identification of the drivers of loss and the …

Seagrasses are in decline globally due to sustained pressure from coastal development,
water quality declines and the ongoing threat from climate change. The result of this decline …

Trace elements, as building blocks of matter, are naturally present in the environment.
However, their extraction, production, use and release by men can lead to the increase of …

Local, regional and global targets have been set to halt marine biodiversity loss. Europe has
set its own policy targets to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) of marine ecosystems …

Aquatic plant meadows are important coastal habitats that sustain many ecosystem
functions such as primary production and carbon sequestration. Currently, there is a …

Predicting where state-changing thresholds lie can be inherently complex in ecosystems
characterized by nonlinear dynamics. Unpacking the mechanisms underlying these …

Societal Impact Statement Seagrass meadows are a globally important habitat subject to
significant loss. As efforts to restore these sensitive habitats are hampered by their high cost …

As a widespread direct effect of global warming, drought is currently wreaking havoc on
terrestrial ecosystems' structure and function, however, the synthesized analysis is lacked to …
