Examining the commonalities and knowledge gaps in coastal zone vegetation simulation models

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 24-48, January 2024.
Of the fifty‐four coastal zone vegetation models reviewed, most were narrowly defined based on the system of interest and focused on plant‐scale processes that predicted aboveground biomass growth rather than patch and community‐scale processes such as competition. Most models have limited ability to simulate vegetation dynamics associated with climate

Chemical composition and biological potential of a chloroform fraction from the leaves of marine plant Syringodium filiforme Kützing

Pharmacognosy Magazine, 2020
Background: Seagrasses are an important component of Nearshore marine ecosystems and a rich source of secondary metabolites with important pharmacological properties. Materials and Methods: In this work, crude hydroethanolic extract and chloroform fraction (SfCHCl3) from marine plant Syringodium filiforme were evaluated for antimicrobial and cytotoxic ...

Recovery of a Halodule wrightii donor meadow

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2024.
Few restoration studies have quantified the recovery of the donor meadow. We evaluated the recovery of a monospecific donor meadow of Halodule wrightii, the second most commonly used transplanting species, and assessed the possible effect of 24 plots of 1 m2 placed in an approximately 3,400 m2 large monospecific meadow with a mean cover of 45%, foliar ...

[Antioxidant effect and polyphenol content of Syringodium filiforme (Cymodoceaceae)].

Revista de biologia tropical, 2011
The marine phanerogam Syringodium filiforme, known as "manatee grass", is a common species that grows in coastal areas associated to Thalassia testudinum. With the aim to describe some of its possible chemical characteristics, this study was performed with a sample of 1.2 kg, collected in March 2009, in Guanabo beach, Havana, Cuba. The sample was dried

Rapid sea level rise causes loss of seagrass meadows

Communications Earth & Environment
As global declines in seagrass populations continue to cause great concern, long-term assessment of seagrass meadows show promise in furnishing valuable clues into fundamental causes of seagrass loss and drivers of environmental change.
