The Impact of Climate Change on Seagrass
Esra Ozturk (Author)
Release Date: 2024-05-31
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 [...]
