Scenarios ranged from 30- to 90-day heatwaves, with longer durations causing more significant biomass decline, reduced resistance, higher extinction risk and prolonged recovery. For instance, recovery time may increase from 18 to 26 months with four 60-day and from 24 to 47 months with four 90-day marine heatwave events. Increasing the frequency of marine heatwaves from one to four annual events, with no gaps between occurrences, could raise extinction risk from 11% to 55% for 60-day events and from 17% to 83% for 90-day events. However, introducing gaps between heatwaves enhanced resilience, with spaced events showing lower extinction risks and quicker recovery than consecutive yearly events.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Discussion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The study demonstrates the DBN model's utility in simulating the impact of marine heatwaves on seagrass, providing tools for risk-informed assessment of management and restoration efforts.
