Is All Seagrass Habitat Equal? Seasonal, Spatial, and Interspecific Variation in Productivity Dynamics Within Mediterranean Seagrass Habitat

Ward, E., Aldis, C., Wade, T., Miliou, A., Tsimpidis, T., Cameron T. Is All Seagrass Habitat Equal? Seasonal, Spatial, and Interspecific Variation in Productivity Dynamics Within Mediterranean Seagrass Habitat. Frontiers in Marine Science 2022.   Abstract: Seagrass meadows’ ability to capture carbon through sequestering autochthonous carbon via photosynthesis means they could represent a potential nature-basedsolution to […]
