Contribution of seagrass plants to CO2 capture in a tropical seagrass meadow under experimental disturbance.

Coastal vegetative habitats are known to be highly productive environments with a high ability to capture and store carbon. During disturbance this important function could be compromised as plant photosynthetic capacity, biomass, and/or growth are reduced. To evaluate effects of disturbance on CO2...
