Climatic extremes are becoming increasingly common against a background trend of global
warming. In the oceans, marine heatwaves (MHWs)—discrete periods of anomalously warm …

Posidonia oceanica is a seagrass endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the primary
production of the P. oceanica meadow is not directly consumed by herbivores and plays a …

Plastic pollution is emerging as a potential threat to the marine environment. In the current
study, we selected seagrass meadows, known to efficiently trap organic and inorganic …

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and
risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity‐rich ecosystems long …

Seaweed assemblages represent the dominant autotrophic biomass in many coastal
environments, playing a central structural and functional role in several ecosystems. In …

Posidonia oceanica is a marine angiosperm endemic from the Mediterranean. Despite their
protection, its meadows are regressing. The economic valuation of ecosystem services (ES) …

Coastal marine vegetation has been recently highlighted for its highly efficient carbon
storage capacity. Among the sixty-four species of seagrass, Posidonia oceanica, a …

Extreme environmental events can strongly affect coastal marine ecosystems but are
typically unpredictable. Reliable data on benthic community conditions before such events …

The actual estimates of carbon stocks beneath seagrass meadows worldwide are derived
from few data, resulting in a tendency to generalize global carbon stocks from a very limited …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea has been experiencing rapid increases in temperature and
salinity triggering its tropicalization. Additionally, its connection with the Red Sea has been …
