Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

Seagrass Meadows: Prospective Candidates for Bioactive Molecules

open access: yesMolecules
Seagrass meadows consist of angiosperms that thrive fully submerged in marine environments and form distinct ecosystems. They provide essential support for many organisms, acting as nursery grounds for species of economic importance.

Characterization and Comparison of Bacterial Communities of an Invasive and Two Native Caribbean Seagrass Species Sheds Light on the Possible Influence of the Microbiome on Invasive Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Invasive plants, including marine macrophytes, are one of the most important threats to biodiversity by displacing native species and organisms depending on them.

Comparison of water velocity profiles through morphologically dissimilar seagrasses measured with a simple and inexpensive current meter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The influence of seagrass morphology on water flow was studied by measuring water velocity profiles through natural seagrass meadows. An array of eight solid-state electronic current meters was used to obtain profiles through meadows of Amphibolis ...

Pilot seagrass transplantation trials in Forsters Bay, Narooma, NSW [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Summary: The last reported extent of seagrass coverage in the Wagonga Inlet, Narooma was given as 148 ha, although estimates of seagrass coverage vary considerably. The channel area consists of approximately 4 ha or 2.7% of this total coverage.
