The effects of in situ shading on the growth of a seagrass, Syringodium isoetifolium
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2005The effect of light reduction on a tropical seagrass, Syringodium isoetifolium, was examined over a period of six months (July 2001 to December 2001) in relation to leaf elongation rates, shoot densities and chlorophyll content of the leaf blades. The experiment was carried out at Poste Lafayette, Mauritius, in winter (July to September) and summer ...

A revision of the typification of some names in the seagrass genera Amphibolis, Cymodocea, Halodule and Syringodium (Cymodoceaceae) [PDF]
The typification of eight names of species currently included in the family Cymodoceaceae is revised in order to contribute to their nomenclatural stability. The previously designated lectotype of Ruppia antarctica Labill. (≡ Amphibolis antarctica (Labill.) Sond. & Asch.) is cited.

Aspects of Floral Morphology and Development in the Seagrass Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae)
Botanical Gazette, 1978Inflorescences in Syringodium filiforme are initially racemose and subsequently extensively cymose, with terminal units referred to as "flowers." The species is dioecious. Each unit is normally enclosed by a pair of bracts which may subtend renewal shoots.

Evidence for phosphorus limitation in carbonate sediments of the seagrass Syringodium filiforme
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1985Abstract The seagrass Syringodium filiforme was examined in an ecological analysis of plant nutrient requirements and nutrient resource availability. Assessment of the sediment geochemistry in a San Salvador Island seagrass bed indicated that phosphorus was not readily accessible to the plants.

Leaf growth in the seagrass Syringodium filiforme Kütz
Aquatic Botany, 1983Abstract Field measurements made during the summer of 1982 in the Indian River lagoon, Florida, showed that Syringodium filiforme Kutz. displays a consistent pattern of growth. The cylindrical leaves lengthen at initial constant rates from a basal region, slow when approaching maturity, and finally cease growing.

Apical dominance and the importance of clonal integration to apical growth in the seagrass Syringodium filiforme [PDF]
The existence of apical dominance and the importance of clonal integration to apical growth in the seagrass Syringodium filiforme were examined using field and mesocosm experiments. In the field, apical dominance was observed with proliferative branching resulting from the removal of rhizome apical meristems (RAMs).

Monitoring and Modeling of Syringodium filiforme (Manatee Grass) in Southern Indian River Lagoon
Estuaries and Coasts, 2012Decreased salinity and submarine light associated with hurricanes of 2004–2005 impacted seagrass habitats in the Florida coastal zone. A combination of salinities ≤20 and light attenuation ≥1.5 m−1 resulting from the freshwater discharge in 2005 were among the drivers for a widespread decrease in the coverage and biomass of Syringodium filiforme ...

AbstractThe population genetics of two seagrasses,Syringodium isoetifoliumandThalassia hemprichiiwere assessed throughout the Indonesian Archipelago. We genotyped 257 blades ofS.isoetifoliumat 15 microsatellite loci collected from 14 sampling sites and 406 blades ofT. hemprichiiat 17 microsatellite loci from 16 sampling sites. Once clones were removed,

Abstract Syringodium filiforme does not exhibit physiological compensation as a function of season. This has important implications with respect to the diversity and spatial distribution of seagrass species, with Syringodium-like physiological characteristics, that are exposed to chronic low light conditions common to estuarine environments.

Effects of physiological integration on the survival and growth of ramets and clonal fragments in the seagrass Syringodium filiforme [PDF]
Mesocosm experiments examined the importance of clonal integration to the growth of Syringodium filiforme ramets (short shoots with their associated section of rhizome and roots) and clonal fragments. High mortality and reduced growth following isolation from parent clones indi- cated that young ramets are dependent on clonal integration for survival ...
