Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in frequency and intensity as part of climate
change, yet their impact on seagrass is poorly known. The present work evaluated the …

Seagrasses form important ecosystems providing essential provisioning and regulating
services. They exhibit acclimative properties to contend with environmental change while …

Seagrass ecosystems usually respond in a nonlinear fashion to increasing pressures and
environmental changes. Feedback mechanisms operating at the ecosystem level and …

Global climate change, specifically the intensification of marine heatwaves, affect
seagrasses. In the Ria Formosa, saturating light intensities may aggravate heatwave effects …

Photorespiration, commonly viewed as a loss in photosynthetic productivity of C3 plants, is
expected to decline with increasing atmospheric CO2, even though photorespiration plays …

Water quality deterioration is expected to worsen the light conditions in shallow coastal
waters with increasing human activities. Temperate seagrasses are known to tolerate a …

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, a geographically remote region, harbor a diverse
island ecosystem. Limited exploration has hindered our understanding of marine floral …

Seagrasses typically display vertical zonation patterns in tropical and temperate areas. In
East Asia, three Zostera species (Z. japonica, Z. marina, and Z. caespitosa) are distributed at …

Background The ability to maintain sufficient oxygen levels in the belowground tissues and
the rhizosphere is crucial for the growth and survival of seagrasses in habitats with highly …

Seagrasses create three-dimensional habitats (ie meadows) of paramount conservation
relevance, which are distributed across large spatial scales, under varying environmental …
