Clonality in seagrasses, emergent properties and seagrass landscapes [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005 Seagrasses are clonal monocots that dominate shallow subtidal coastal and estuarine environments worldwide. They are important for their relatively high productivity and their role in coastal sediment stabilization, as habitat and food for invertebrates, fishes, turtles, dugongs and manatees, and as a source for detrital food webs.

The Effects of Non-Indigenous Macrophytes on Native Biodiversity: Case Studies from Sicily
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Biological invasions are widely recognized as a major threat to native biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services. Non-indigenous species (NIS) may in time become invasive (invasive alien species (IAS)), determining significant environmental ...

Local Knowledge and Conservation of Seagrasses in the Tamil Nadu State of India
Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2011 Local knowledge systems are not considered in the conservation of fragile seagrass marine ecosystems. In fact, little is known about the utility of seagrasses in local coastal communities.

Bioprospecting of Marine Macrophytes Using MS-Based Lipidomics as a New Approach
Marine Drugs, 2016 The marine environment supports a remarkable diversity of organisms which are a potential source of natural products with biological activities. These organisms include a wide variety of marine plants (from micro- to macrophytes), which have been used in

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Marine litter can end up deposited on sandy beaches and become entangled in the natural wrack, threatening its roles in ecosystems. However, it is currently unknown whether the storage of both artificial and natural accumulations on sandy beaches is ...
