Spatio-Temporal Variability of Anthropogenic and Natural Wrack Accumulations along the Driftline: Marine Litter Overcomes Wrack in the Northern Sandy Beaches of Portugal

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 ...

Nitrogen uptake and internal recycling in Zostera marina exposed to oyster farming: eelgrass potential as a natural biofilter [PDF]

, 2016
Oyster farming in estuaries and coastal lagoons frequently overlaps with the distribution of seagrass meadows, yet there are few studies on how this aquaculture practice affects seagrass physiology.

First description of seagrass distribution and abundance in Sao Tome and Principe [PDF]

, 2017
Seagrass meadows in Sao Tome and Principe, eastern Atlantic Ocean, are described here for the first time. Specifically, we quantified the biomass and density of seagrasses, characterized the plant morphology and measure their nutrient content as a proxy ...

Seagrasses At The Islands Iturup And Urup Of Kuril Archipelago

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2023
The islands Iturup and Urup of Kuril Archipelago have been understudied in respect of seagrasses. The research aimed to fill this gap. In 2019 during the expedition of the Russian Geographical Society a part of the coastline has been surveyed by walking,

Les écosystèmes marins de la Caraïbe : identification, diffusion et modes de gestion

Études Caribéennes, 2010
The marine environment of the Caribbean Sea is composed primarily of three main ecosystems: coral reefs, mangroves and seagrasses, home to fauna and flora.

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 ...

Effects of nutrient enrichment on seagrass population dynamics: evidence and synthesis from the biomass-density relationships [PDF]

, 2013
The available data from experimental and descriptive studies on seagrass biomass and density responses to nutrient enrichment were analysed to assess the intraspecific mechanisms operating within seagrass populations and whether biomass-density ...

Short-term growth and biomechanical responses of the temperate seagrass Cymodocea nodosa to CO2 enrichment [PDF]

, 2017
Seagrasses are often regarded as climate change 'winners' because they exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis, carbon fixation and growth when exposed to increasing levels of ocean acidification.

Comparative analysis of mitochondrial genomes reveals marine adaptation in seagrasses

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Seagrasses are higher marine flowering plants that evolved from terrestrial plants, but returned to the sea during the early evolution of monocotyledons through several separate lineages.

Dissolved Oxygen in Heterogeneous Environments Dictates the Metabolic Rate and Thermal Sensitivity of a Tropical Aquatic Crab

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
