“…Data supported the hypothesis that there is low availability of nitrogen in the water column over assessed seagrass meadows ( Supplementary Table S1). Seagrass in sheltered conditions could use roots to uptake nitrogen, from organic matter available in sediments to sustain biomass especially in oligotrophic seawater around San Andrés island (Gavio et al, 2010;Abdul aziz et al, 2018; Supplementary Table S1). Therefore, nitrogen in organic matter could be a source of nitrogen for seagrass plants under sheltered conditions, whilst in exposed conditions waves may facilitate nitrogen uptake from the surrounding water (Supplementary Figure S2 and Supplementary Table S11).…”

Nitrogen pollution is a global problem and to effectively mitigate the effects we need to understand both the ecological and societal impacts. Coral reefs are of particular concern, as they are a critical source of livelihoods, culture, and wellbeing for hundreds of millions of people. Yet they are rapidly declining due to numerous pressures, with nitrogen pollution identified as a top-ranked non-climatic pressure. A Rapid Evidence Assessment was carried out to understand the societal impacts derived from marine nitrogen pollution on coral reefs. The results highlight key research evidence gaps, such as unclear reporting of nitrogen pollution, not distinguishing impacts from nitrogen and other stressors, non-quantification of nitrogen-specific marine and societal impacts, unstudied global regions with high nitrogen pressure, and the need for greater awareness on marine nitrogen pollution. Future research questions are proposed to allow better understanding on how tropical coastal societies are being impacted by marine nitrogen pollution.
