Perda de habitat e possível extinção de ervas marinhas no Mediterrâneo

Photo credits: Rosa Chefaoui (CCMAR, 2018)

Investigadores do CCMAR publicaram recentemente um artigo inovador onde reportam a distribuição atual e previsões de distribuições futuras de duas espécies que formam pradarias marinhas, mostrando onde estas poderão sofrer perdas significativas.
