The movement ecology of seagrasses [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
A movement ecology framework is applied to enhance our understanding of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of movement in seagrasses: marine, clonal, flowering plants. Four life-history stages of seagrasses can move: pollen, sexual propagules, vegetative fragments and the spread of individuals through clonal growth.

Seagrass habitat in the Port of Thursday Island: Annual seagrass monitoring report 2023 [PDF]

, 2023
[Extract] Seagrasses have been monitored in the Port of Thursday Island biennially since 2002 and annually since 2016. Nine seagrass meadows representing the range of different seagrass community types found in the Thursday Island region are monitored ...

Seagrass-Watch: increasing the charisma of seagrass through education and awareness [PDF]

, 2012
Despite their important ecological role, the public’s perception of seagrasses is not as great as other marine ecosystems. With global seagrass losses reported to be equivalent to one football field very 30 minutes, seagrass ecosystems are facing a ...

A quantitative technique for sampling motile macroinvertebrates in beds of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile [PDF]

, 2002
Techniques for sampling motile macroinvertebrates associated with Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows have mainly involved the use of hand-nets and suction samplers or collection by hand.

Clonality in seagrasses, emergent properties and seagrass landscapes [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005
Seagrasses are clonal monocots that dominate shallow subtidal coastal and estuarine environments worldwide. They are important for their relatively high productivity and their role in coastal sediment stabilization, as habitat and food for invertebrates, fishes, turtles, dugongs and manatees, and as a source for detrital food webs.

Stress Memory in Seagrasses: First Insight Into the Effects of Thermal Priming and the Role of Epigenetic Modifications

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
While thermal priming and the relative role of epigenetic modifications have been widely studied in terrestrial plants, their roles remain unexplored in seagrasses so far.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEAGRASS Thalassia hemprichii PERCENTAGE COVER AND THEIR BIOMASS

Jurnal Ilmu Kelautan Spermonde, 2020
Seagrass has many functions and values, including as carbon sink. However, to estimate carbon in seagrass, it involves seagrass biomass harvesting which is laborious, costly, and destructive. This study aimed to find out the relationship between seagrass

Habitat-mediated facilitation and counteracting ecosystem engineering interactively influence ecosystem responses to disturbance [PDF]

, 2011
Recovery of an ecosystem following disturbance can be severely hampered or even shift altogether when a point disturbance exceeds a certain spatial threshold. Such scale-dependent dynamics may be caused by preemptive competition, but may also result from

Fishers’ local knowledge strengthens seagrass restoration planning

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Seagrass restoration is increasingly guided by habitat suitability models, yet restoration outcomes depend on more than biophysical suitability alone. In coastal social-ecological systems, fishers and anglers hold fine-scale, time-integrated knowledge of

Non‐seagrass carbon contributions to seagrass sediment blue carbon [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 2017
AbstractNon‐seagrass sources account for ∼ 50% of the sediment organic carbon (SOC) in many seagrass beds, a fraction that may derive from external organic matter (OM) advected into the meadow and trapped by the seagrass canopy or produced in situ. If allochthonous carbon fluxes are responsible for the non‐seagrass SOC in a given seagrass bed, this ...
