Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]

, 2013
It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

The future of seagrass meadows [PDF]

Environmental Conservation, 2002
Seagrasses cover about 0.1–0.2% of the global ocean, and develop highly productive ecosystems which fulfil a key role in the coastal ecosystem. Widespread seagrass loss results from direct human impacts, including mechanical damage (by dredging, fishing, and anchoring), eutrophication, aquaculture, siltation, effects of coastal constructions, and food ...

Measurements and modeling of acoustic propagation in a seagrass meadow [PDF]

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2018
This talk presents results from an acoustic propagation experiment conducted in the Lower Laguna Madre to characterize the acoustical properties of a seagrass meadow. At the location of the experiment, the water was one meter deep, and the seabed was covered by a dense growth of Thalassia testudinum, a type of seagrass that grows from a long, jointed ...

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.

Mapping seagrass meadows in coastal China using GEE

, 2022
Seagrass meadows are virtual blue carbon ecosystems facing a dramatic decline on a global scale. Tracking the status and trends of seagrass meadows, which is still pending on large scales, is an emerging priority for their conservation and restoration ...

Accelerating Tropicalization and the Transformation of Temperate Seagrass Meadows [PDF]

BioScience, 2016
Climate-driven changes are altering production and functioning of biotic assemblages in terrestrial and aquatic environments. In temperate coastal waters, rising sea temperatures, warm water anomalies and poleward shifts in the distribution of tropical herbivores have had a detrimental effect on algal forests.

Seagrass Resource Assessment Using WorldView-2 Imagery in the Redfish Bay, Texas

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Seagrass meadows play important roles as habitats for many marine organisms, traps for sediment, and buffers against wave actions. The objective of this paper is to map seagrass meadows in the Redfish Bay, Texas from WorldView-2 imagery. Seagrass meadows

The role of seagrass meadows in the coastal trapping of litter

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
The accelerated discard and mismanagement of human-made products are resulting in the continued input of litter into the oceans. Models and field observations show how floating litter can accumulate in remote areas throughout the global ocean, but far less is known about the non-floating litter fraction.

A preliminary study of carbon dioxide and methane emissions from patchy tropical seagrass meadows in Thailand [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Seagrass meadows are a significant blue carbon sink due to their ability to store large amounts of carbon within sediment. However, the knowledge of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from seagrass meadows is limited, especially from ...

BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR TOOLS TO MONITOR Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile MEADOWS [PDF]

, 2010
Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile is the dominant endemic seagrass in the Mediterranean Sea, where it forms highly productive meadows. Worldwide seagrass monitoring is an issue of increasing interest in research, management and policies, due to the ...
