Water column oxygenation by Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows in coastal areas: A modelling approach
Seagrass meadows are among the most abundant marine coastal ecosystems in the world. The wide variety of species, a worldwide distribution with overall high abundance, and especially their high productivity make them a plausible nature-based blue carbon solution to mitigate atmospheric CO2 levels.

| Sumario: | Seagrass meadows are among the most abundant marine coastal ecosystems in the world. The wide variety of species, a worldwide distribution with overall high abundance, and especially their high productivity make them a plausible nature-based blue carbon solution to mitigate atmospheric CO2 levels. In the Mediterranean Basin, the endemic angiosperm Posidonia oceanica plays a remarkable role as a marine habitat provider in shallow waters through its vertical growth and as a carbon sink storing allochthonous carbon and biomass underneath the meadows. |
