University of Michigan researchers, including recent doctoral graduate Bridget Shayka, studied the impact of nutrients on seagrass. They studied plots of seagrass growing in a bay in The Bahamas, ...

Seagrass, a vital coastal ecosystem, may be one of the planet’s best natural carbon sponges—but its fate depends on how we manage nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. While moderate nutrient input ...

The world’s seagrasses possess a remarkable ability to capture and store vast amounts of carbon, according to a global study published in Nature Communications. The comprehensive analysis, led by FIU ...

Seagrass is known for its blue carbon potential, but meadows also play an important role in coastal protection by helping reduce wave intensity and stabilizing sediments, both of which are key to ...

Seagrasses store a lot of carbon in their tissues, making them a potential counterweight to rising levels of atmospheric CO2. Seagrasses are more efficient at storing carbon in the soil or sediment, ...

Indonesia is moving to designate 17 seagrass habitats as national strategic areas for blue carbon, a plan that promises climate and community benefits but raises concerns over safeguards. The ...
