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 ...

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.

Larger distribution ranges of seagrasses towards the equator
, 2023 Aim: The description of species' ranges provides biogeographical information to explain fundamental macroecological and evolutionary processes. In this study, we investigated the Rapoport's rule for the world's seagrasses, that is, whether the range ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Oxygen availability, together with water temperature, greatly varies in coastal habitats, especially in those characterized by elevated primary production. In this study, we investigate the combined role of dissolved oxygen and temperature on the thermal

, 2008 Sandwiched between two of the world’s iconic tropical ecosystems of coral reefs and rainforests, are two important coastal communities: mangroves and seagrasses. While corals flourish in shallow warm seas, and rainforests cover wetter upland regions, all are dependent on this unique association.

The movement ecology of seagrasses [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 A movement ecology framework is applied to enhance our understanding of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of movement in seagrasses: marine, clonal, flowering plants. Four life-history stages of seagrasses can move: pollen, sexual propagules, vegetative fragments and the spread of individuals through clonal growth.

A Review of Factors Influencing the Seagrass-Sea Cucumber Association in Tropical Seagrass Meadows
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 In the tropical ecosystem, sea cucumbers are associated with seagrass meadows in various ways, often forming a network of ecological interactions. From this myriad of interactions, the trophic relationship between the seagrasses and sea cucumbers has ...

Short-Term Response of Cytosolic NO3− to Inorganic Carbon Increase in Posidonia oceanica Leaf Cells
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased over the past 200 years and is expected to continue rising in the next 50 years at a rate of 3 ppm·year−1.

The role of intertidal seagrass Zostera spp. in sediment deposition and coastal stability in the Tay Estuary, Scotland [PDF]
, 2012 The Tay estuary is situated on the east coast of Scotland. The estuary is dominated by sediment biotopes, including mudflats which support sparse beds of two nationally scarce seagrass species, Zostera marina var. angustfolia (Hornem.) and Z.
