Biomass and productivity of seagrasses in Africa
(De Gruyter, 2016-05): There is growing interest in carbon stocks and flows in seagrass ecosystems, but recent global reviews suggest a paucity of studies from Africa. This paper reviews work on seagrass productivity, biomass and sediment ... -
Carbon storage in the seagrass meadows of Gazi Bay, Kenya
(2017-05-10)Vegetated marine habitats are globally important carbon sinks, making a significant contribution towards mitigating climate change, and they provide a wide range of other ecosystem services. However, large gaps in knowledge ... -
From Shiny Shoes to Muddy Reality: Understanding How Meso-State Actors Negotiate the Implementation Gap in Participatory Forest Management
(Routledge, 2017-11)Recent research on participatory forest management (PFM) in the global south has highlighted the existence of a widespread “implementation gap” between the ambitious intent enshrined in legislation and the often partial, ... -
Measuring the role of seagrasses in regulating sediment surface elevation
(Scientific Reports, 2017-09)Seagrass meadows provide numerous ecosystem services and their rapid global loss may reduce human welfare as well as ecological integrity. In common with the other ‘blue carbon’ habitats (mangroves and tidal marshes) ... -
Seagrass Removal Leads to Rapid Changes in Fauna and Loss of Carbon
(Frontiers, 2019-03)Seagrass habitats are important natural carbon sinks, with an average of ∼14 kg C m−2 buried in their sediments. The fate of this carbon following seagrass removal or damage has major environmental implications but is ...
