Recent Green Seas Lab paper about the importance of seagrass meadows for fish biodiversity in coastal waters on the front of this months issue of Marine Ecology! Link to paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ma… Green Seas Lab RUC #seagrass #biodiversity

After lots of fruitful meetings, a field trip, lab/campus visits & a seagrass seminar, this academic meeting at RMIT is soon at an end. Thanks to Dr Trevathan-Tackett, Prof. Peter Macreadie and everyone else at the CNPS for hosting me. Supported by Villum Fonden Follow Green Seas Lab

New collaborative paper (OA) led by Jie Wang at China Agricultural Uni is available in Advanced Science. "Microplastics Generate Less Mineral Protection of Soil Carbon and More CO2 Emissions" #microplastic #DOM #C_cycle #soil onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

📢BREAKING: 2024 is officially the hottest year on record - and the first to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. As Copernicus EU reports: Human-driven climate change is the primary cause for this rise in temperatures. 🌡️ Read the full report 🔽 climate.copernicus.eu/global-climate…

MSc in Environmental Science at Roskilde University Society is increasingly affected by environmental issues such as climate change & pollution. Student of Env. Science at RUC, will be given tools to tackle these issues. Link: ruc.dk/en/master/envi…

Time for our winter sampling of infauna biodiversity in seagrass vs adjacent bare sediment. Project is in collaboration with DHI, where we are going to use and assess their new biodiversity state indicator (BSI). Stay tuned for more info 👇 #seagrass #biodiversity RUC

Did you know seagrass is a climate hero? 🦸‍♂️ On #WorldSeagrassDay we share this breathtaking image of healthy #seagrass meadow in the Bahamas was captured by Remuna Beca. Discover more at: sea.museum/ocean-photogra… #OceanPhotography #UnderwaterPhotography

Seagrass prevents coastal erosion, stores carbon, and contributes to food security. However, these vital ecosystems are in decline. This #WorldSeagrassDay, join #GenerationRestoration & take action for our precious ecosystems: bit.ly/3fNtmjj

Happy #WorldSeagrassDay! 💚💙 These underwater plants are climate and ecosystem heroes, but they're declining fast. Here's why we need to protect seagrass, and how #OceanDecade actors like Doors of Hope Foundation. Solent Seascape Project are making it happen. 👇

🌊🌿 Happy #WorldSeagrassDay! Seagrass might not seem like much at first glance, but it's a powerful force beneath the waves—storing carbon, providing shelter for marine life, and keeping our oceans healthy. Join Oceana in protecting vital ocean habitats today:

Last sampling trip for determining the effect of seagrass meadows on seasonal infauna/benthic biodiversity in Danish lagoon. #seagrass #biodiversity At Roskilde University / Environmental Science Link to master’s degree at RUC: ruc.dk/en/master/envi… RUC Green Seas Lab

Greenhouse gas fluxes were quantified on a temperate beach on #Zosteramarina wrack alone, on sediment, and sediment alone. Patterns of emission and uptake were highly date-specific, highlighting the complexity of #GHGflux drivers bit.ly/meps_757_199

📌New Paper🌱🦀 Biodegradable elements (#BESE, mimicking rhizome and root structures) can reduce negative impacts of green crabs on seagrass transplants - important new knowledge for restoration practices Link: doi.org/10.1111/rec.70… RUC Green Seas Lab #seagrass #crabs

Where does all the ocean's microplastic end up? While the exact destinations remain uncertain, a fair amount accumulates in seagrass ecosystems. For a detailed explanation based on our research from a few years ago, please watch this video: youtu.be/faRB7OHACO8?si….

New paper: "PFAS-herbicide diflufenican reduces the photosynthetic capacity in seagrass" Study addresses negative effects caused by PFAS-herbicide diflufenican on seagrass photobiology. We show reduced photosynthetic capacity of DFF exposed plants. Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper: Effects of increasing temperature on NO, N2O and H2S production and dynamics within epiphytic seagrass leaf biofilms sciencedirect.com/science/articl… High temp positively effects production of phytotoxins and greenhouse gas in seagrass that can impact their ecological function
