Growth rate and calcium carbonate accumulation of Halimeda macrolobaDecaisne (Chlorophyta: Halimedaceae) in Thai waters [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2014
Halimeda macroloba Decaisne can utilize the CO2 used for carbon fixation in photosynthesis and use bicarbonate as the main carbon source for calcification.

Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
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.

Ocean warming indirectly affects seagrass performance through effects on sediment microbial communities

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Belowground microbes are increasingly recognised as mediators of plant responses to stress, but it remains unclear whether the thermal histories of marine plants and their associated belowground microbes influence plant performance under ocean warming.

The Advantaged Salt Inducible Suaeda salsa SsNRT2.5 and Its Promoter Significantly Enhance Nitrate Transport Efficiency and Salt Tolerance in Transgenic Arabidopsis and Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

The Effects of Water Parameters on Monthly Seagrass Percentage Cover in Lawas, East Malaysia

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Seagrass is a valuable marine ecosystem engineer. However, seagrass population is declining worldwide. The lack of seagrass research in Malaysia raises questions about the status of seagrasses in the country. The seagrasses in Lawas, which is part of the

Morpho‐anatomical and genetic variation of Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) from Jeju Island, Korea

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Lithophyllum Philippi (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) is a diverse genus of non‐geniculate coralline algae. Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae are commonly found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of Jeju Island, Korea, where they contribute to local benthic communities.

Assessment of the community status of seagrass bed and its relationship with environmental characteristics in Wenchang, Hainan Island, China

Frontiers in Marine Science
As one of the typical coastal ecosystems, seagrass bed has important ecological service functions. In order to enrich the basic data of multispecies tropical seagrass beds, the main controlling factors affecting the community status of seagrass were ...

Seasonal growth and reproductive dynamics of Chondrus ocellatus in relation to shore height in the Korean intertidal zone

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY We examined the seasonal growth and reproduction of the carrageenophyte Chondrus ocellatus in Hakampo, Korea (July 2014–April 2015), to understand its adaptation to environmental variability across the intertidal zone. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) growth is greater at the lower shore with reduced stress; (2) gametophytes dominate at the ...

Opportunities for targeted, small‐scale law reform in marine and coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Across the globe, law reform is being considered as a mechanism to support, guide, and encourage the upscaling of ecological restoration. While high‐profile examples like the European Nature Restoration Law show the value of large‐scale law reform, this scale of law reform will not be feasible or politically tractable everywhere.

Tributary‐scale oyster reef restoration in Harris Creek, Maryland: lessons from a decade of planning, implementing, and monitoring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In response to the decline of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in Chesapeake Bay, a large‐scale restoration initiative was launched in Harris Creek, Maryland, in 2011. This effort marked a shift from fragmented projects toward a coordinated, sanctuary‐based approach to oyster restoration.
