Seagrasses are one of the most efficient natural sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2) on Earth. Despite covering less than 0.1% of coastal regions, they have the capacity to bury up to 10% of marine organic matter and can bury the same amount of carbon 35 times faster than tropical rainforests. On land,...
Salt marshes are highly productive ecosystems where microbial communities drive key
transformations of organic matter at rates often exceeding those of oceanic and inland
environments. Viruses are recognised as important drivers and regulators of global
biogeochemical cycling, y...
