GROWTH OF ULVA FENESTRATA (CHLOROPHYTA) IN MICROCOSMS RICH IN ZOSTERA MARINA (ANTHOPHYTA) DETRITUS1 ,2

open access: closedJournal of Phycology, 1978
ABSTRACTIn laboratory experiments discs cut from thalli ofUlva fenestrataPostels & Ruprecht grew in diameter and biomass (dry weight and ash‐free dry weight) more when dead leaves ofZostera marina L.were present than when absent. A maximum increase in dry weight of 500% in 14 days occurred withZosterapresent compared with only a 200% increase with ...

Morphological Observations on the Co-Occurring Geophytes Isoëtes Duriei Bory (Lycophyta, Isoëtaceae) and Romulea Columnae Sebast. Et Mauri (Anthophyta, Iridaceae)

open access: closed, 2003
Some preliminary observations on the morphology and leaf anatomy of two geophytes, Isoetes duriei and Romulea columnae, co-occurring in a Mediterranean temporary pond have been reported. The species examined possess characters favourable to the survival of both flooded and arid conditions. The adaptive traits to flooding appear plastic in R.

EPIPHYTE‐GRAZER INTERACTIONS ON ZOSTERA MARINA (ANTHOPHYTA: MONOCOTYLEDONES): EFFECTS OF DENSITY ON COMMUNITY FUNCTION1

open access: closedJournal of Phycology, 1997
ABSTRACTInteractions between algal epiphytes and their grazers can have a significant impact on the structure and function of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) meadows. In Puget Sound, the herbivorous gastropod Lacuna variegata Carpenter and its congeners appear to remove large quantities of the epiphytic community from eelgrass blades.
