Looking back at our #field trip earlier this week @tvarminne.bsky.social
Perfect weather, awesome team, great viz in 1 °C and lovely #SAV under the #seaice

#WorldSeagrassDay 2026!
Seagrasses are vital for marine life:
🐠 Provide habitats that support biodiversity
🎣Boost fisheries as nurseries & feeding grounds
This year's theme “SeagrassesEnrichOceanBiodiversity&Fisheries” highlights their role in ocean health.Join us to #ProtectSeagrass!

🚨New publication!
Eva Rohlfer et al. show how the contribution of zoobenthos to seafloor respiration in coastal habitats varies with space and time.

🚨New publication on carbon stocks in reed beds!
M Williamson et al. quantified C storage in reed stems, roots and sediment.
🌍 Most C was stored in the sediments and roots, and the highest total C storage was observed in the intermittent zone of the reed beds.

Nice day for a day on the ice! ☀️😎We’re preparing for our ice dive next week to measure benthic metabolism in SAV incl. #Zostera 🌱

Sad I didn't manage to go to there myself this time, but thanks to Mace Head team for hosting these campaigns!
Spent the month of May on the beautiful Irish west coast quantifying BVOC-emissions from marine algae and seagrass. Fruitful collaboration between @helsinki.fi, @uniofgalway.bsky.social, @coastclim.bsky.social.

We systematically reviewed literature on macroalgal degradation. To date, most degradation experiments are carried out in aquaria or shallow environments, span short timescales or rarely incorporate ...
Functional plant traits that influence fitness or performance provide a powerful tool for understanding and predicting how plants interact with their environment, respond to ecological changes, and c....
