| Description | HIGHLIGHTS Seagrass meadows provide an important habitat for a wide range of marine organisms, including those that form or secrete skeletal or non-skeletal calcium carbonate $(CaCO_{3}$), which is deposited on the soil surface along with organic remains. The direction and magnitude of the air-sea $CO_{2}$ exchange potential in seagrass ecosystems depends on the relative rates of the organic and inorganic carbon cycles within the system. In settings where there is potential for $CO_{2}$ evasion from seawater to the atmosphere, the soil still provides a long-term store for detrital organic and $CaCO_{3}$ carbon.
