Vegetated marine and freshwater habitats are being increasingly lost around the world.
Habitat restoration is a critical step for conserving these valuable habitats, but new …

This paper focuses on the marine foundation eelgrass species, Zostera marina, along a
gradient from the northern Baltic Sea to the north‐east Atlantic. This vast region supports a …

Seagrasses evolved from terrestrial plants into marine foundation species around 100
million years ago. Their ecological success, however, remains a mystery because natural …

Seagrass ecosystems are important natural carbon sinks but their efficiency varies greatly
depending on species composition and environmental conditions. What causes this …

abstract Food waste leads to severe environmental, social, and economic consequences.
Several factors affect the consumer's food waste intention and behavior. The ideal way to …

Coastal habitats are used by a great variety of organisms during some or all stages of their
life cycle. When assessing the link between biological communities and their environment …

Similar to other coastal biogenic habitats (eg tidal marshes, kelp forests, mangroves and
coral reefs), a key function of seagrass meadows is the enhancement of biodiversity …

Seagrass meadows globally are disappearing at a rapid rate with physical disturbances
being one of the major drivers of this habitat loss. Disturbance of seagrass can lead to …

Harvesting wild populations may contrast or reinforce natural agents of selection and
potentially cause evolutionary changes in life‐history traits such as growth and maturation …

Understanding responses of marine species to temperature variability is essential to predict
impacts of future climate change in the oceans. Most ectotherms are expected to adjust their …
