Seagrass standing stock biomass can be used to estimate organic carbon when preparing blue carbon evaluations for anthropogenic climate change mitigation potential and seagrass conservation priorities. Current sampling techniques destroy sampled plants and disturb...
Influences of Environmental Exposure and Disturbance On Above- and Below-Ground Biomass in Jersey Seagrass Meadows
Seagrasses are vital ecosystems that provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including biodiversity support, coastal protection and carbon sequestration, yet they are rapidly declining worldwide. Therefore, understanding how environmental conditions and...
A comparative study of the biomass and density of seagrass beds in Jersey, Channel Islands
Seagrasses provide a variety of ecosystem functions within the marine environment. Recently, an increasing interest has been shown in the Blue Carbon potential of seagrass meadows. As these plants sequester more carbon than they omit, they are classed as carbon sinks...
