Seagrass meadows are key elements of marine ecosystems as they affect the physical,
chemical and biological environment and provide habitats for fish and invertebrates. Human …

The spatial and temporal dynamics of seagrasses have been well studied at the leaf to patch
scales, however, the link to large spatial extent landscape and population dynamics is still …

Along with their important diversity, coastal ecosystems receive various amounts of nutrients,
principally arising from the continent and from the related human activities (mainly industrial …

The origin and composition of sediment organic matter (SOM) were investigated together
with its spatial distribution in the Arcachon Bay–a macrotidal lagoon that shelters the largest …

Tributyltin (TBT), an organotin compound frequently detected in the coastal environments,
poses a threat to aquatic organisms. The lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus) is a …

Stretching more than 2000 km along the Queensland coast, the Great Barrier Reef Marine
Park (GBR) shelters over 43,000 square km of seagrass meadows. Despite the status of …

The present study investigates the influence of seagrass root systems on benthic hard-
