Knowledge gaps in tropical Southeast Asian seagrass systems
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2011Abstract Seagrasses are habitats with significant ecological and economic functions but we have limited knowledge of seagrasses in Southeast Asia, the hypothesized centre-of-origin for tropical seagrasses. There have been only 62 ISI-cited publications on the seagrasses of Southeast Asia in the last three decades and most work has been in few sites ...

Unexpected resilience of a seagrass system exposed to global stressors
Global Change Biology, 2017AbstractDespite a growing interest in identifying tipping points in response to environmental change, our understanding of the ecological mechanisms underlying nonlinear ecosystem dynamics is limited. Ecosystems governed by strong species interactions can provide important insight into how nonlinear relationships between organisms and their environment

The dugong (Dugong dugon (Müller)) in the seagrass system
Aquaculture, 1977Heinsohn, G.E., Wake, J., Marsh, H. and Spain, A.V., 1977. The dugong (Dugong dugon (Miiller)) in the seagrass system. Aquaculture, 12: 235-248. The distribution and ecological niche of the dugong are considered in relation to their effects on tropical seagrass ecosystems, Features of the chemical and calorific nature of seagrasses are contrasted to ...

Unravelling complexity in seagrass systems for management: Australia as a microcosm
Science of The Total Environment, 2015Environmental decision-making applies transdisciplinary knowledge to deliver optimal outcomes. Here we synthesise various aspects of seagrass ecology to aid environmental decision-making, management and policy. Managers often mediate conflicting values and opinions held by different stakeholders.

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2020
AbstractOstracods and foraminifera are excellent indicators of environmental change and can act as proxies for the presence of seagrass meadows. These proxies have been under-utilized in vulnerable coastal ecosystems in South-east Asia, and the fundamental habitat and environmental parameters required for such application in environmental monitoring ...

A flow-through system for exposure of seagrass to pollutants
Marine Environmental Research, 1982Abstract A flow-through system for exposure of seagrass to pollutants is described. Sea water with dissolved atrazine or PCP (pentachlorophenol) was pumped through a sealed 2-litre volume glass exposure vessel that contained either whole plants or leaves of Thalassia testudinum.

Photobiology of Seagrasses: A Systems Biology Perspective
2017In addition to their well-recognized ecosystem services, seagrass meadows have recently gained considerable attention for their significant role in the marine carbon cycle. Accurate estimation of the carbon budgets of seagrass meadows does require a systems understanding of photosynthetic processes particularly in the dynamic environments of their ...

Sediment Connectivity in the Coupled Tidal Flat-Seagrass-Marsh System
2022Seagrass and salt marsh are important sediment and carbon sinks in the global marine carbon cycle, yet are also among the most rapidly declining marine habitats. Their ability to sequester sediment and carbon depends on flow–sediment–vegetation interactions that promote sediment trapping and deposition, as well as high rates of primary ...

Phosphorus Cycling in Tropical Carbonate Sediment-Seagrass Systems
2013This thesis presents two studies focusing on phosphorus cycling in calcium carbonate sediments inhabited by seagrasses. Phosphorus is a major limiting nutrient for primary productivity in these sediments as well as in the overlying waters. In large part this is due to removal of phosphate from solution by adsorption and precipitation reactions.
