Seagrass ecosystems represent a global marine resource that is declining across its range.
To halt degradation and promote recovery over large scales, management requires a radical …

Human-and nature-induced hypersaline conditions in coastal systems can lead to profound
alterations of the structure and vitality of seagrass meadows and their socio-ecological …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is particularly vulnerable to warming and the abrupt
declines experienced by the endemic Posidonia oceanica populations after recent …

The wide distribution range of eelgrass Zostera marina L. encompasses a broad
temperature gradient potentially affecting the timing of life history events (phenology), which …

Studies for the preservation of seagrass beds biotopes have met difficulties in establishing
appropriate methods assessing their health. We tested the efficiency of space occupation by …

Extreme storms can trigger abrupt and often lasting changes in ecosystems by affecting
foundational (habitat-forming) species. While the frequency and intensity of extreme events …

Habitat restoration is becoming an increasingly prevalent tool in the armoury of marine
conservation, particularly given the expanding interest in creating nature-based solutions to …

The marine, intertidal zone is the optimal environment for eelgrass (Zostera spp.) and
bivalve aquaculture. Eelgrass is a valuable and protected nearshore habitat. It is important …

The seagrass P osidonia oceanica is a key engineering species structuring coastal marine
systems throughout much of the M editerranean basin. Its decline is of concern, leading to …

Characterizing the response of ecosystems to global climate change requires that multiple
aspects of environmental change be considered simultaneously, however, it can be difficult …
