Nutrient Enrichment Increases Blue Carbon Potential of Subtropical Seagrass Beds. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Seagrass beds have tremendous potential to mitigate climate change because their high rates of primary production bury large amounts of carbon. They are also globally threatened by nutrient pollution, and thus, realizing this potential requires understanding how this stressor affects carbon burial.

Temperature Drives Seagrass Recovery Across the Western North Atlantic. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
In this study, we used field experiments across 23° of latitude (from Bermuda to Panama) to investigate how important climate change drivers impact the recovery rates of turtlegrass, a widespread marine plant. We found that both global (temperature) and local (grazing and nutrients) drivers affect seagrass recovery rates and thus resilience.

Up, Down, and All Around: Courtship Behavior Deviants and Genetic Divergence in the Reef-Dwelling Bioluminescent Ostracod, <i>Photeros annecohenae</i> (Myodocopida: Cypridinidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Species that have complex courtship behaviors are some of the most evolutionarily diverse lineages observed in nature. Here, we quantify differences in the courtship behavior, morphology, and genetics of a group of bioluminescent marine ostracod residents of the Mesoamerican barrier reef of Belize.

Nitrogen Fixation in Subtropical Seagrass Sediments: Seasonal Patterns in Activity in Santa Rosa Sound, Florida, USA

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Seagrass beds are important coastal habitats that are diminishing globally. Nitrogen, a key nutrient, often limits seagrass growth. Nitrogen fixation provides new, bioavailable nitrogen to the plants.

The light requirements for growth and photosynthesis in seagrasses with emphasis on Texas estuaries : a literature survey [PDF]

, 1993
During the last 20 years, seagrass communities throughout the world have experienced decreased productivity and distribution. These declines have often been attributed to decreased water transparency as a result of turbidity or shading by epiphytic algae.

Seasonal behavior of Thalassia testudinum (Hydrocharitaceae) metabolites

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2016
The marine angiosperm Thalassia testudinum, commonly known as turtle grass, is a dominant seagrass that grows in the Caribbean Sea shelf associated to Syringodium filiforme. The hydroalcoholic extract of T. testudinum is rich in polyphenols; the most abundant metabolite in this extract is thalassiolin B, a glycosilated flavonoid with skin damage ...

Interspecific variation in the elemental and stable isotope content of seagrasses in South Florida [PDF]

, 2009
The elemental (C, N, and P) and isotope (δ13C, δ15N) content of leaves of the seagrasses Thalassia testudinum, Halodule wrightii, and Syringodium filiforme were measured across a 10 000 km2 survey of the seagrass communities of South Florida, USA, in ...

Experimental nutrient enrichment causes complex changes in seagrass, microalgae, and macroalgae community structure in Florida Bay [PDF]

, 2005
We evaluated how changes in nutrient supply altered the composition of epiphytic and benthic microalgal communities in a Thalassia testudinum (turtle grass) bed in Florida Bay.

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 ...
