Warming seas can threaten the hidden relationship that supports seagrass meadows

"Seagrasses are often overlooked, but they are among the most important coastal habitats on Earth."

"Our findings highlight an important idea: the impacts of climate change on seagrasses can’t be understood by looking at the plants alone. The microbial communities living in the sediment can also influence how these plants respond to warming. "

"This has important implications for conservation and restoration. Around the world, seagrass meadows are declining due to coastal development, pollution and climate change. "

Reducing stand density significantly enhances #TreeSpeciesDiversity, which in turn promotes #SoilOrganicCarbon accumulation by influencing microbial carbon fixation and degradation potential.
