- Abstract
For example, rainfall was shown to enhance seagrass biomass in an Australian seagrass meadow on Mabuiag Island (where the seagrass community includes species from the genera I Cymodocea, Halodule, Thalassia, Halophila, Enhalus, i and I Syringodium i ) throughout a 30-day trial ([92]). Organic carbon in seagrass sediments is influenced by seagrass canopy complexity, turbidity, wave height, and water depth.

I Cymodocea nodosa i (Ucria) Ascherson is a common seagrass species in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Canary Isles ([32]) that grows relatively fast compared to other seagrass genera ([94]). High-salinity brine discharges from seawater desalination plants can also negatively impact seagrass meadows [103].
