Low Light Availability Reduces the Subsurface Sediment Carbon Content in Halophila beccarii From the South China Sea

Eutrophication, dredging, agricultural and urban runoffs, and epiphyte overgrowth could reduce light availability for seagrass. This may affect “blue carbon” stocks in seagrass beds. However, little research is available on the effect of light intensities on carbon sequestration capacity in seagrass...
