Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass
meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such …

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

Seagrass canopies are important components of the world's coastal environments providing
critical ecological services. Nearshore hydrodynamics, ie, waves and currents, are essential …

Accelerating warming and associated loss of sea ice are expected to promote the expansion
of coastal marine forests (macrophytes) along the massive Arctic coastlines. Yet, this region …

Context Seagrass meadows act as efficient natural carbon sinks by sequestering
atmospheric CO 2 and through trapping of allochthonous organic material, thereby …

Seagrasses are highly productive ecosystems and hotspots for biodiversity, providing a
plethora of benefits to the environment and to people. Their value in sequestering and …

By removing nutrients from the water, coastal ecosystems serve as a filter between land and
the open sea. Seagrasses contribute to the coastal filter by trapping and absorbing nutrients …

Carbon and nutrient storage are important ecosystem services of submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAV) and may be enhanced by SAV restoration. This study demonstrates an …

Abstract Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR) catchments include some of the world's most
intact coastal wetlands comprising diverse mangrove, seagrass and tidal marsh ecosystems …

The optical complexity of coastal waters is mostly caused by the water discharged from land
carrying optical components (such as dissolved and particulate matter) into coastal bays and …
