Global Seagrass Aboveground Biomass and Estimated Energy Loss Rate

A global dataset of seagrass bed aboveground biomass and estimated energy loss rate based on a simulation experiment. The data is provided by Zhijian Jiang and was last updated on 2026-05-20. The dataset is available as an 86.1 KB XLSX file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling carbon sequestration potential based on global seagrass biomass.
• Estimating energy flow and loss rates in marine ecosystems based on simulation results.
• Analyzing the global distribution and productivity of seagrass beds.
• Calibrating remote sensing models for coastal vegetation biomass.

Strengths

• Global spatial coverage of seagrass ecosystems.
• Includes estimated energy loss rate derived from simulation experiments.
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 86.1 KB file size suggests a limited scope or aggregated summary data.
