Recruitment of Thalassia testudinum seedlings into physically disturbed seagrass beds [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2004 Thalassia testudinum seedling recruitment, survival, and growth were examined within physically disturbed seagrass beds in the Florida Keys. Two separate studies were conducted. In the first, a large-scale study, T. testudinum seedlings were surveyed and collected from a large seagrass disturbance (1560 m 2 ), 4.8 yr after the initial impact from a ...

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

Stress-Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi-Stressor Environments. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCorals living in multi‐stressor bays in Curaçao maintain stress‐tolerant symbiotic algae and specialized bacterial communities in comparison to those in nearby reefs. These findings provide insight into how Caribbean coral holobionts persist in extreme and marginal conditions and may respond under future environmental conditions.

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

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 ...

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.

Experimental evidence of pollination in marine flowers by invertebrate fauna
Nature Communications, 2016 Marine plants reproduce by hydrophilly, that is, the movement of pollen by water. Here, the authors show that invertebrates can also carry pollen from male to female Thalassia testudinum plants.
