Biogeochemical effects of iron availability on primary producers in a shallow marine carbonate environment [PDF]
, 2001 We completed a synoptic survey of iron, phosphorus, and sulfur concentrations in shallow marine carbonate sediments from south Florida. Total extracted iron concentrations typically were 50 μmol g-1 dry weight (DW) and tended to decrease away from the ...

Pathogenicity and phylogeny of Labyrinthula spp. isolated in Washington and Oregon, USA. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolAbstract The class Labyrinthulomycetes constitutes a multitude of species found ubiquitously in the environment, and includes pathogens of corals, hard clams, turfgrasses, and seagrasses. Labyrinthula zosterae, the causative agent of seagrass wasting disease, has been associated with declines in seagrass coverage since the 1930s.

Nutrient availability induces community shifts in seagrass meadows grazed by turtles [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 In the Caribbean, green turtles graze seagrass meadows dominated by Thalassia testudinum through rotational grazing, resulting in the creation of grazed and recovering (abandoned) patches surrounded by ungrazed seagrasses.

First description of seagrass distribution and abundance in Sao Tome and Principe [PDF]
, 2017 Seagrass meadows in Sao Tome and Principe, eastern Atlantic Ocean, are described here for the first time. Specifically, we quantified the biomass and density of seagrasses, characterized the plant morphology and measure their nutrient content as a proxy ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3958-3971, December 2025.Abstract Nitrogen fixers can enhance nitrogen availability for seagrass communities that may be nitrogen limited. However, the role of epiphytic diazotrophs, particularly cyanobacteria, in seagrass communities is not well understood. We measured nitrogen fixation rates, epiphyte biomass, and relative abundances of epiphytic diazotrophs on the leaves of

Preliminary comparison of natural versus model-predicted recovery of vessel-generated seagrass injuries in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary [PDF]
, 2009 Each year, more than 500 motorized vessel groundings cause widespread damage to seagrasses in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). Under Section 312 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA), any party responsible for the loss, injury, or ...

Supervised Classification of Benthic Reflectance in Shallow Subtropical Waters Using a Generalized Pixel-Based Classifier across a Time Series [PDF]
, 2015 We tested a supervised classification approach with Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) data for time-series mapping of seagrass in a subtropical lagoon. Seagrass meadows are an integral link between marine and inland ecosystems and are at risk from upstream ...
