Coastal development and climate change are sparking growing concern about the
vulnerability of the organic carbon (OC) stocks in marine sediments to remineralization …

Seagrasses are marine flowering plants, which form extensive meadows in intertidal and
shallow water marine environments. They provide a wide range of ecosystem services …

Seagrass communities provide critical ecosystem and provisioning services for both human
populations and a wide range of associated species globally. However, it has been reported …

Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem services of coastal protection and chemical
habitat formation that could help mitigate the impact of sea level rise and ocean acidification …

Worldwide, climate change adaptation in coastal areas is a growing challenge. The most
common solutions such as seawalls and breakwaters are expensive and often lead to …
