About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic, we encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical studies on themes such as (i) degradation processes and mechanisms of seagrass beds under multiple abiotic and biotic stresses, including natural and anthropogenic influences; (ii) the response of seagrass population dynamics and reproduction biology to environmental factors; (iii) degraded seagrass restoration technologies and paradigms. Therefore, this Research Topic will provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the conservation and restoration of seagrasses.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and research areas may include (but not limited to) the following sub-themes:
• Degradation processes and mechanisms of seagrass beds under environmental stresses
• Seagrass reproduction, population dynamics, and recruitment under natural and anthropogenic influences
• Resilience of seagrass meadows under global changes
• Theory, technology, and applications of seagrass meadows restoration
• The ecological restoration benefits, such as reversing biodiversity declines and promoting ecosystem function
Keywords: seagrass beds, degradation, human activities, climate change, ecological restoration
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
