Ocean Acidification and Mollusc Settlement in Posidonia oceanica Meadows: Does the Seagrass Buffer Lower pH Effects at CO₂ Vents?

Diversity, 2021
Ocean acidification has been broadly recognised to have effects on the structure and functioning of marine benthic communities. The selection of tolerant or vulnerable species can also occur during settlement phases, especially for calcifying organisms ...

Evaluating the role of seagrass in Cenozoic CO2 variations [PDF]

, 2016
Marine seagrass angiosperms play an important role in carbon sequestration, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and binding it as organic matter. Carbon is stored in the plants themselves, but also in the sediments both in inorganic and organic

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.

The light requirements for growth and photosynthesis in seagrasses with emphasis on Texas estuaries : a literature survey [PDF]

, 1993
During the last 20 years, seagrass communities throughout the world have experienced decreased productivity and distribution. These declines have often been attributed to decreased water transparency as a result of turbidity or shading by epiphytic algae.

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

Potential uptake of dissolved organic matter by seagrasses and macroalgae [PDF]

, 2011
Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) acts as a large reservoir of fixed nitrogen. Whereas DON utilization is common in the microbial community, little is known about utilization by macrophytes.

Benthic macroalgae of Shark Bay, Western Australia [PDF]

, 1990
One hundred and sixty one taxa of benthic macro-algae are reported from Shark Bay, Western Australia, growing either on subtidal rock platforms, on the extensive sandflats that dominate the bay, or as epiphytes on seagrasses and other algae.
