Seagrass Loss and Sub-Surface Carbon Fate: Insights from a Long-Term Experimental Removal in Gazi Bay, Kenya
(Jupiter Publishers, 2021-08)
Seagrass meadows are considered as global hotspots of blue carbon stocks. However, they suffer global cover loss mainly due to anthropogenic
activities. Few is known on the impact of seagrass loss on their blue carbon ...
