Severe impacts of brown tides caused by Sargassum spp. on near-shore Caribbean seagrass communities
From mid-2014 until the end of 2015, the Mexican Caribbean coast experienced a massive
influx of drifting Sargassum spp. that accumulated on the shores, resulting in build-up of …

A synthesis of methane emissions from shallow vegetated coastal ecosystems
Vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCEs; ie, mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses) play a
critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, storing 10× more C than temperate forests. Methane …
