environmental conditions needed for seagrasses to thrive. There are about 60 species of seagrasses worldwide, with most restricted to sand habitats in coastal waters where they sometimes form large meadows composed of one or more species. Thirteen species of seagrasses are known from the western Indian Ocean (Gullstrom, et al.,
31 Μαρ 2022 · But these ecosystems are only the tip of the iceberg — there’s more beneath the surface, specifically seagrass. Seagrasses provide humans with countless goods and services — everything from food security to shoreline protection to clean water.
Seagrasses form dense underwater seagrass meadows which are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. They function as important carbon sinks [3] and provide habitats and food for a diversity of marine life comparable to that of coral reefs.
Background: Florida seagrass habitats are valuable marine resources. Seagrasses grow in thick meadows in the Indian River Lagoon and provide an important nursery habitat for many species, are important for nutrient cycling, sediment stabilization, and for storing carbon.
Conceptual diagrams for (a) tropical and (b) temperate seagrass ecosystems, detailing key ecosystem services and major mechanisms of seagrass loss. (c) Temperate and tropical seagrass genera...
6 Ιουν 2023 · This study provides a review of publications focusing on seagrass ecosystem services provision to identify knowledge gaps and improve our understanding of the use of these habitats as nature-based solutions to societal challenges, such as climate change.
