Tropical seagrass-associated macroalgae distributions and trends relative to water quality [PDF]
Tropical coastal marine ecosystems including mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reef communities are undergoing intense degradation in response to natural and human disturbances, therefore, understanding the causes and mechanisms present challenges for ...

Abstract Deterioration of seagrass beds worldwide has raised concern about the future of dugongs because almost all aspects of their life history depend on availability of seagrass. Understanding their energy metabolism and consequently how much seagrass they need will inform protective conservation strategies for dugongs. This study determined resting

Discovery of a novel potexvirus in the seagrass Thalassia testudinum from Tampa Bay, Florida
Seagrass meadows are important coastal ecosystems that are declining worldwide. Given the profound impact of the microbiome on plant health, exploration of the seagrass microbiome is critical for proper ecosystem management and conservation.

Field Notes on Thalassia Testudinum Growing Under Stress Conditions
Field observations of Thalassia testudinum Banks ex Konig specimens growing under stress conditions revealed the presence of paracytic stomata on their leaves. Stomata are common to living plants in both land and freshwater environments, but are previously unknown in plants inhabiting salt water environments.

Wave‐driven plant reconfiguration modifies light availability in seagrass meadows
Abstract Seagrasses are considered foundation species in marine and estuarine ecosystems by contributing biomass, providing habitat, and damping waves and currents. Globally, seagrass health and primary productivity are threatened by factors that affect light availability, such as shading by algae and epiphytes, self‐shading, and increased water column

Artificially induced aggregation of fauna and their effects on nutrient regimes and primary producers in an oligotrophic subtropical estuary [PDF]
In order to investigate the role of faunal aggregations in concentrating nutrients in the oligotrophic landscape of Florida Bay, I manipulated faunal densities in Florida Bay sea grass beds by constructing artificial reefs.

The South‐east Saline Everglades marl deposition began ca 3200 year BP and the increasing rate of sea‐level rise since 1900 is driving saltwater encroachment at rates that will eliminate freshwater wetlands prior to 2100. The transgressive marl unit is contrasted to other South Florida and global Holocene palustrine depositional environments, providing
