Light availability in the coastal ocean: impact on the distribution of benthic photosynthetic organisms and their contribution to primary production
One of the major features of the coastal zone is that part of its sea floor receives a significant
amount of sunlight and can therefore sustain benthic primary production by seagrasses …

Coastal darkening substantially limits the contribution of kelp to coastal carbon cycles
Macroalgal‐dominated habitats are rapidly gaining recognition as important contributors to
marine carbon cycles and sequestration. Despite this recognition, relatively little is known …

Stability and bistability of seagrass ecosystems in shallow coastal lagoons: Role of feedbacks with sediment resuspension and light attenuation
Shallow coastal lagoons are environments where a dynamic equilibrium exists between
water quality and seagrass cover. Dense seagrass canopies limit the resuspension of bed …
