Abstract:Climate change significantly impacts seagrass ecosystems, particularly in shallow coastal waters. Rising global temperatures and increased greenhouse gas emissions alter weather patterns, affecting seagrass growth and distribution. Studies reveal a 7% annual decline in seagrass habitats due to anthropogenic pressures, with projections of further loss. Seagrass meadows, crucial for marine biodiversity, face threats from thermal stress, sea-level rise, and ocean acidification. These changes reduce photosynthetic… Show more
