New paper out! πŸͺ± The invasion of Arenicola spp. in Ria de Aveiro is reshaping the ecosystem:
➑️ deeper sediment reworking
➑️ more nutrients in the water

A clear case of how species traits drive ecosystem change.

Functional traits are moderate predictors of above‐ and below‐ground biomass in multispecies seagrass habitats Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

🚨 NEW paper alert!
#Seagrass #functional #traits act as predictors of #biomass, albeit moderately. Study conducted across 1500 km coastline.
Main #biodiversity mechanism driving seagrass #biomass stock is through dominance.
