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 ...
Variation in Seagrass Carbon Stocks Between Tropical Estuarine and Marine Mangrove-Fringed Creeks
(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020-08)
Seagrass and associated blue carbon ecosystems are important carbon sinks, and hence understanding their spatial and temporal variability is vital in appreciating their potential roles in climate change mitigation and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Value chain and sustainability of mangrove wood harvesting in Lamu, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Mangrove forests provide harvestable wood and non-wood resources to human society globally. The current
study evaluated value chain of mangrove wood products from Lamu, Kenya, and how these impacts on resources’
sustainability. ...
The Contribution of Subtidal Seagrass Meadows to the Total Carbon Stocks of Gazi Bay, Kenya
(Diversity, 2022-08-11)
Seagrass beds occur globally in both intertidal and subtidal zones within shallow marine
environments, such as bays and estuaries. These important ecosystems support fisheries production,
attenuate strong wave energies, ...
