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 …

This literature review summarizes the limiting factors for seagrass occurrence, and the effect
positive feedbacks in seagrass systems have on these threshold levels. Minimum water …

There is strong evidence that the seafloor constitutes a final sink for plastics from land
sources. There is also evidence that part of the plastics lying on the shallow seafloor are …

The contribution of seagrasses to coastal protection is examined through the review of the
most relevant existing knowledge. Seagrasses are the largest submerged aquatic …

The global significance of carbon storage in Indonesia's coastal wetlands was assessed
based on published and unpublished measurements of the organic carbon content of living …

Plastic waste has become ubiquitous in ecosystems worldwide. Few, recent studies report
evidence of coastal vegetated habitats acting as sink for plastics, yet assessments have …

One of the most frequently quoted ecosystem services of seagrass meadows is their value
for coastal protection. Many studies emphasize the role of above-ground shoots in …

Seagrass meadows provide numerous ecosystem services and their rapid global loss may
reduce human welfare as well as ecological integrity. In common with the other 'blue …

Seagrass meadows are considered important natural carbon sinks due to their capacity to
store organic carbon (Corg) in sediments. However, the spatial heterogeneity of carbon …

Seagrasses are generally known as ecosystem engineers, as they reduce flow velocities in
their canopies. In perennial subtidal meadows, this usually leads to increased net …
