Field and Genetic Data to" Small-scale thermal habitat variability may not determine seagrass resilience to climate change"

Description

Field and Genetic Data to” Small-scale thermal habitat variability may not determine seagrass resilience to climate change” The study investigated the effect of microclimate differences across ten seagrass meadows in the Koster Sea archipelago, located on the Swedish west coast. Environmental data were combined with genetic and experimental analyses to evaluate how local microclimatic conditions influenced seagrass resilience and response to a changing climate. This integrated approach provided insights into the interaction between environmental variability, genetic diversity, and the adaptive capacity of seagrass meadows. Experimental data related to this can be found : 10.5281/zenodo.15074712
