Regional-scale effects of eutrophication on ecosystem structure and services of seagrass beds

Eutrophication in the coastal ocean can severely alter the composition of marine plants with consequences on carbon and nutrient storage and cycling as well as habitat and food provision for associated animal communities. This study used large-scale field surveys across 12 estuaries in two provinces in Atlantic Canada to quantify eutrophication-induced changes in the ecosystem structure and services of seagrass beds.
