Herbivory in Seagrass Meadows: an Evolving Paradigm

Estuaries and Coasts, 2020
In the past few decades, we have learned much about the factors that regulate the productivity of seagrass-dominated ecosystems, especially those at low latitudes. Here, we update our previous assessments of the importance of seagrass-herbivore interactions, focusing on recent studies that have examined (1) the diversity of herbivores feeding on live ...

Nearshore seascape connectivity enhances seagrass meadow nursery function

Ecological Applications, 2019
AbstractDiverse habitats composing coastal seascapes occur in close proximity, connected by the flux of materials and fauna across habitat boundaries. Understanding how seascape connectivity alters important ecosystem functions for fish, however, is not well established.

Light and Photosynthesis in Seagrass Meadows

2006
The distribution of radiant energy in plant canopies determines one of the fundamental interactions of biophysical ecology—that of energy exchange between photosynthetic organisms and their environment. Accurate knowledge of light absorption by plant canopies permits the calculation of important plantand ecosystem-level properties, including rates of ...

Retention of microplastics in Halophila decipiens seagrass meadows

Marine Environmental Research
Microplastic (MP) trapping and storage by seagrasses and sediments highlight their role as potential long-term reservoirs for plastic particles. This study evaluated the presence of MPs in Halophila decipiens meadows and its associated sediments in two localities, Pichilingue and Los Aripes, in the southwest Gulf of California.

Nitrogen fixation in Red Sea seagrass meadows

2017
Seagrasses are key coastal ecosystems, providing many ecosystem services. Seagrasses increase biodiversity as they provide habitat for a large set of organisms. In addition, their structure provides hiding places to avoid predation. Seagrasses can grow in shallow marine coastal areas, but several factors regulate their growth and distribution ...
