Spatial and temporal variation of the δ15N in Thalassia testudinum in the Mexican Caribbean (2009–2017)

, 2020
Wastewater pollution in seagrass has been documented for decades. In areas where baseline data are lacking, such as the Mexican Caribbean, the δ15N of seagrass can provide information on status and trends.

Hypersalinity as a trigger of seagrass ( Thalassia testudinum ) die-off events in Florida Bay: Evidence based on shoot meristem O 2 and H 2 S dynamics

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2018
The mechanisms initiating rapid, large-scale (>50 km2) seagrass die-off events globally remain elusive. Thalassia testudinum, a dominant habitat-forming tropical seagrass of the Caribbean and tropical Atlantic region, experiences recurrent die-off events

Thalassia testudinum response to the interactive stressors hypersalinity, sulfide and hypoxia

Aquatic Botany, 2007
Abstract A large-scale mesocosm (sixteen 500 L tanks) experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of hypersalinity (45–65 psu), porewater sulfide (2–6 mM) and nighttime water column hypoxia (5–3 mg L−1) on the tropical seagrass Thalassia testudinum Banks ex Konig.

Carbonate mud; production by epibiont growth on Thalassia testudinum

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1970
Abstract Epibiotic growth of coralline red algae and serpulid worms on the marine turtle grass Thalassia testudinum is sufficient to produce carbonate mud at rates comparable to the rates of accumulation of ancient platform carbonates.

Monitoring of physically restored seagrass meadows reveals a slow rate of recovery for Thalassia testudinum

Restoration Ecology, 2018
Physical damage by motor vessels is a widespread problem for seagrass meadows, with hull and propeller strikes accounting for thousands of acres of impaired habitat in Florida, United States, alone.

Ambient nutrient availability drives the outcome of an interaction between a sponge (Halichondria melanadocia) and seagrass (Thalassia testudinum)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2018
Nutrient loading is a common human impact in coastal habitats which is driving significant losses of seagrass habitat worldwide. This is concerning, as seagrass beds provide numerous ecosystem services.

Phosphorus uptake kinetics of a dominant tropical seagrass Thalassia testudinum

Aquatic Botany, 2003
Although nitrogen is primarily the dominant nutrient limiting seagrass production in temperate estuaries, phosphorus (P) limitation can be important in tropical carbonate-dominated seagrass systems. While nitrogen uptake kinetics of seagrasses are moderately well established, very limited data exist on the dynamics of P-uptake.

The influence of freshwater runoff on biomass, morphometrics, and production of Thalassia testudinum

Aquatic Botany, 2002
Efforts to restore more natural freshwater flows in South Florida will impact Biscayne Bay. In order to evaluate possible effects of decreased freshwater discharge on the seagrass Thalassia testudinum, we determined the biomass, density, morphometrics (width, length, number of blades per shoot) and production of T. testudinum twice a year for 2 year at

Photosynthetic activity detected in the seed epidermis of Thalassia testudinum

Aquatic Botany, 2017
Abstract Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that have evolved from terrestrial ancestors. Photosynthetic activity on seed has been studied before in Posidonia genus. T. testudinum and P. oceanica share some evolutionary aspects as they live in more stable environments. As in P. oceanica , T.
