Vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCEs; ie, mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses) play a
critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, storing 10× more C than temperate forests. Methane …

Human-induced global change is expected to amplify the disease risk for marine biota.
However, the role of disease in the rapid global decline of seagrass is largely unknown …

A substantial body of research now exists demonstrating sensitivities of marine organisms to
ocean acidification (OA) in laboratory settings. However, corresponding in situ observations …

Abstract “Ocean acidification”(OA), a change in seawater chemistry driven by increased
uptake of atmospheric CO2 by the oceans, has probably been the most-studied single topic …

The ultimate effect that ocean acidification (OA) and warming will have on the physiology of
calcifying algae is still largely uncertain. Responses depend on the complex interactions …

Human activity is generating an excess of atmospheric CO 2, resulting in what we know as
ocean acidification, which produces changes in marine ecosystems. Until recently, most of …

Seagrasses provide a wide range of services including food provision, water purification and
coastal protection. Pacific small island developing states (PSIDS) have limited natural …

Seagrass meadows play an important role in “blue carbon” sequestration and storage, but
their dynamic metabolism is not fully understood. In a dense Zostera marina meadow, we …

Global (eg climate change) and local factors (eg nutrient enrichment) act together in nature
strongly hammering coastal ecosystems, where seagrasses play a critical ecological role …

Abstract Since Susan Williams and I started our scientific careers in the mid-1970s, seagrass
science has been transformed from a largely descriptive field to an increasingly quantitative …
