Seagrasses occur in coastal zones throughout the world, in the part of the marine habitat that is most heavily influenced by humans. Decisions about coastal management therefore often involve seagrasses, but despite a growing awareness of the importance of these plants, a full appreciation of their role in coastal ecosystems has yet to be reached. This

Abstract Seagrasses have a wide distribution throughout the world’s oceans, being absent only from the polar seas, although the genera Phyllospadix and Zostera are present as far north as the Bering Sea and as far south as the Tasman Sea.

Seagrass Dynamics and Resilience
2018The vulnerability of seagrass ecosystems, and the services they provide, to damage and loss from anthropogenic stressors has led to a surge of interest in understanding their resilience. This chapter examines patterns of change in tropical and temperate Australian seagrasses to identify underlying causes of the observed patterns.

Seagrasses and seagrass ecosystems, an appraisal of the research approach
Aquatic Botany, 1979Abstract The paper gives a review of five aspects considered to be essential for an integrated approach to the seagrass ecosystem. It is stressed that the usual approach, which only considers structure and function, is too static and incomplete, and that the aspects of dynamics, history and classification have also to be included.

Ecology of Seagrass Seeds and Seagrass Dispersal Processes
2006Seagrasses began colonizing the marine environment 100 million years ago in the Cretaceaous (den Hartog, 1970) and, like their terrestrial, wetland, and freshwater angiosperm counterparts, established a highly effective method of dispersal seeds. While the terrestrial plant literature is replete with studies on all aspects of seed ecology, ranging from

The significance of seagrass decomposition and methods for assessing the quantity and status of decomposing material are outlined in this chapter. Methods presented in this chapter focus on four basic objectives: · To estimate the amount of necromass, especially leaf litter, associated with seagrass beds, and determine its spatio-temporal variability. ·
