Mangrove Forests and Seagrass Meadows

2020
This chapter discusses mangrove forests and seagrass meadows. These represent two of the most valuable marine habitats in the world, important for providing a high level of productivity and physical structure that support a considerable biodiversity of associated animals. However, both systems are remarkable in that they are based on higher plants more

Seagrass Meadows of Northeastern Australia

2016
The northeastern Australian coastline from the tropics (10°S) to the subtropical zone of the southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and its World Heritage Area (25°S) is famous for coral reefs, a huge drawcard for the Australian tourist industry. Less appreciated but of at least equal importance to ecosystem functionality are the enormous seagrass meadows ...

Seagrass contributes substantially to the sedimentary lignin pool in an estuarine seagrass meadow

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Shallow coastal ecosystems are reservoirs of carbon derived from allochthonous organic matter and autochthonous organic matter produced by microalgae and macrophytes. Carbon stored in vegetated coastal ecosystems has attracted broad attention as an important component of carbon sinks.

Effects of a severe storm on seagrass meadows

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
Extreme environmental events can strongly affect coastal marine ecosystems but are typically unpredictable. Reliable data on benthic community conditions before such events are rarely available, making it difficult to measure their effects. At the end of October 2018, a severe storm hit the Ligurian coast (NW Mediterranean) producing damages to coastal

Plant–herbivore interactions in seagrass meadows

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2006
Abstract During the past two decades we have gained much insight into the factors that regulate the productivity of seagrass dominated ecosystems, especially those at low latitudes. Here, we review and reassess the importance of plant–herbivore interactions in seagrass meadows, focusing on recent studies that have examined: 1) grazing on live ...

Synchronous flowering of estuarine seagrass meadows

Aquatic Botany, 1998
Abstract A hierarchical sampling scheme was used to describe variation in the timing and intensity of flowering of multiple meadows of two species of seagrasses: Posidonia australis and Zostera capricorni. Sampling was stratified across a range of spatial scales: among sites and depths (P.
