plant a seagrass meadow that has grown by repeatedly copying, or cloning, itself.</span> <span data-start-time='11917' data-end-time='23146'>A genetic study found that the underwater field of green seagrass that lives off Australia’s western coast is a single organism. </span> <span data-start-time='23146' data-end-time='35813'>The organism, 180 square kilometers in size, has survived by making copies of itself for over 4,500 years.</span> <span data-start-time='35813' data-end-time='41229'>The research was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.</span> <span data-start-time='41229' data-end-time='48583'>The University of Western Australia’s Jane Edgeloe helped write the study. </span> <span data-start-time='48583' data-end-time='54938'>She wrote that the researchers confirmed that the meadow was a single organism. </span> <span data-start-time='54938' data-end-time='63521'>They did this by sampling and comparing the DNA of small pieces of seagrass from across the sea.</span> <span data-start-time='63521' data-end-time='67917'>Several plants and animals can reproduce without sex.</span> <span data-start-time='67917' data-end-time='73375'>Researchers wrote that the process can create very fast growth. </span> <span data-start-time='73375' data-end-time='80021'>But clones of a single organism can be at increased risk of disease.</span> <span data-start-time='80021' data-end-time='89500'>The scientists call the meadow of Poseidon’s ribbon weed “the most widespread known clone on Earth.”</span> <span data-start-time='89500' data-end-time='94708'>Widespread is a term that means common over a wide area.</span> <span data-start-time='94708' data-end-time='100042'>Although the seagrass meadow is very large, it faces risks. </span> <span data-start-time='100042' data-end-time='109208'>Ten years ago, the seagrass covered an area of around 18 square kilometers more than it does today. </span> <span data-start-time='109208' data-end-time='119563'>But storms and rising ocean temperatures linked to climate change have recently killed almost one tenth of the ancient seagrass bed.</span> </p></div><div
