Nature-based solutions (NBS) for hydro-meteorological risks (HMRs) reduction and
management are becoming increasingly popular, but challenges such as the lack of well …

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 …

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time
for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant science …

To develop more accurate global carbon (C) budgets and to better inform management of
human activities in the ocean, we need high-resolution estimates of marine C stocks. Here …

The protection of organic carbon stored in forests is considered as an important method for
mitigating climate change. Like terrestrial ecosystems, coastal ecosystems store large …

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 …

Microplastics is an emerging environmental problem in the world. However, presence and
fate of microplastics in seagrass meadows are barely known. In this study, the abundance …

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 …

Seagrass meadows are highly productive habitats found along many of the world's
coastline, providing important services that support the overall functioning of the coastal …

The metabolic rates of seagrass communities were synthesized on the basis of a data set on
seagrass community metabolism containing 403 individual estimates derived from a total of …
