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 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.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 The present study analyses the spatio-temporal structuration of the molluscan fauna from four tidal channels of the Gulf of Gabès. A total of 26 stations were sampled at four seasons from March 2016 to January 2017, leading to the identification of 2695 ...

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.

Life, 2020 Seagrasses as Posidonia oceanica reproduce mostly by vegetative propagation, which can reduce genetic variability within populations. Since, in clonally propagated species, insurgence of genetic variability can be determined by the activity of ...

EDISVegetated coastal ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses, store large amounts of carbon in plant biomass and underlying sediments, known as blue carbon. There is increasing interest among policymakers and natural resource managers

The perilous state of seagrass in the British Isles [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Seagrass ecosystems face widespread threat from reduced water quality, coastal development and poor land use. In recent decades, their distribution has declined rapidly, and in the British Isles, this loss is thought to have been extensive.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 While thermal priming and the relative role of epigenetic modifications have been widely studied in terrestrial plants, their roles remain unexplored in seagrasses so far.

Non‐seagrass carbon contributions to seagrass sediment blue carbon [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2017 AbstractNon‐seagrass sources account for ∼ 50% of the sediment organic carbon (SOC) in many seagrass beds, a fraction that may derive from external organic matter (OM) advected into the meadow and trapped by the seagrass canopy or produced in situ. If allochthonous carbon fluxes are responsible for the non‐seagrass SOC in a given seagrass bed, this ...
