Can mud (silt and clay) concentration be used to predict soil organic carbon content within seagrass ecosystems? [PDF]
The emerging field of blue carbon science is seeking cost-effective ways to estimate the organic carbon content of soils that are bound by coastal vegetated ecosystems.

MORPHOLOGIAL PLASTICITY OF HALODULE SPECIES IN RESPONSE TO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS
Halodule species is widely distributed along the south and east coasts of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. Five locations were selected for the study based on different habitat characteristics; sub-tidal shoal (Merambong-2 sites; Tg. Adang Laut-2 sites), coastal lagoon (Merchang-2 sites), inter-tidal beach front (Lawas-l site) and reef atoll ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Lateral Coastal Blue Carbon Export Fuels a Deep‐Ocean Carbon Sink in an Oligotrophic Warm Pool
Abstract Coastal blue carbon (CBC) ecosystems export organic matter offshore, but their contribution to deep‐ocean carbon sequestration remains insufficiently quantified. We measured depth‐resolved particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes, δ13C signatures, and environmental DNA (eDNA) from sediment traps deployed at 150, 500, and 1,000 m in the western ...

Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...

Dynamics of the aboveground and belowground structure of the seagrass Halodule wrightii
Dynamics of the aboveground and belowground structure of the seagrass Halodule wrighti~ (Asherson) Asherson was studied from April 1984 to March 1985. Seasonality of plant structure was evident, with the highest abundance of short shoots and belowground structures occuning in June.

Seagrass Sampling Methods in a Community‐Based Setting, A Comparative Analysis
ABSTRACT Effective monitoring of seagrass is essential for the conservation of this critical marine ecosystem. The choice of monitoring method depends on balancing accuracy, efficiency, cost and accessibility, especially in contexts requiring community engagement and ownership.

3.5. Halodule (7, Cymodoceaceae, tropical shores) To the best of our knowledge there are no reports on secondary metabolites from species of the genus Halodule apart from the comparative studies from Zapata and McMillan (1979) and Gillan et al. (1984) mentioned in Section 3.1.
