Predicting Sediment Flow in Coastal Vegetation

Cattails and Lily Pads
Seagrass, kelp beds, mangroves, and other aquatic vegetation are often considered “ecosystem engineers” for their ability to essentially create their own habitats: Aquatic leaves and reeds slow the flow of water, encouraging sediments to settle nearby to form a foundation on which more plants can grow. Such underwater forests provide shelter to hundreds of organisms,

Seagrasses can form dense underwater meadows.
Climate change affects creatures around the world. But land animals may have a slight advantage over marine species in running from the ill effects of global warming: the ability to escape. The oceans absorb the majority of the excess heat. Because they distribute the heat widely, ocean temperature gains are subtle.  But, even a small

Seagrasses can form dense underwater meadows.
Tampa Bay now supports 40,295 acres of sea grass beds, the largest amount of sea grass measured since the 1950s, a new study by scientists at the Southwest Florida Water Management District has found. The extent of sea grass beds is a way to measure the water quality in the bay. The more sea grass

Seagrass Meadows Could Help Remove Plastic from the Oceans

Seagrasses can form dense underwater meadows.
Seagrass meadows are widespread in shallow coastal waters and are involved in trapping and binding sediment particles that form the seabed. These seagrass meadows also provide important ecosystem services and benefits, such as water quality improvement; CO2 absorption; climate change mitigation; sediment production for seafloor and beach stabilization; coastal protection; nursery and refuge areas for

Scientists Find Underwater Plants Can Combat Ocean Acidification

Seagrasses can form dense underwater meadows.
Our carbon dioxide emissions are making the oceans more acidic. As we pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, a portion dissolves into the world’s oceans. Once there, the carbon dioxide goes through a series of chemical changes that have an acidifying effect on seawater. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and through photosynthesis. Underwater
