About Marine and coastal plant biology

This cluster of papers focuses on the ecological dynamics of marine environments, with a particular emphasis on seagrasses, kelp forests, and macroalgae. It explores the impacts of climate change, ocean acidification, and human activities on marine biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. Additionally, it addresses the role of marine vegetation in coastal protection and the global distribution patterns of seaweed.
