Abstract

Lush meadows of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica represent an important coastal marine ecosystem in the Mediterranean Sea and a major carbon sink. However, an analysis predicts that, in the absence of mitigation, climate change will lead to the functional extinction of P. oceanica meadows by the middle of the twenty-first century.
