The endemic Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica is a key species in coastal
waters and it is widely employed as an ideal biological indicator for assessing the quality of …

Salt marshes occur globally across climatic and coastal settings, providing key linkages
between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, salt marsh science lacks a unifying …

Seagrass meadows are disappearing at rates comparable to those reported for mangroves,
coral reefs, and tropical rainforests. One of the main causes of their decline is the so-called …

Posidonia oceanica, the most abundant seagrass species in the Mediterranean, supports a
highly bio-diverse habitat and is crucial in protecting against coastal erosion. In this work …

This paper presents results from experiments in a large flume on wave and flow attenuation
by a full-scale artificial Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow in shallow water. Wave height …

Ocean acidification has been shown to have highly variable effects, with many negative and
some positive responses from individual species, while community level effects are largely …

Increasing oceanic uptake of CO2 is predicted to drive ecological change as both a resource
(ie CO2 enrichment on primary producers) and stressor (ie lower pH on consumers). We use …

Posidonia oceanica is an endemic Mediterranean seagrass used as a 'biological quality
element'in monitoring programmes of the EU Water Framework Directive, providing …

Seagrass meadows are one of the most important coastal habitats across the globe. These
are mainly constituted by the marine plants of the genus Posidonia and Thalassia. In the …

Seagrasses are one of the most valuable marine ecosystems on earth, yet they are declining
worldwide at alarming rates. With most of seagrass monitoring based on long term …
