Interaction between Ammonium Toxicity and Green Tide Development Over Seagrass Meadows: A Laboratory Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Eutrophication affects seagrasses negatively by increasing light attenuation through stimulation of biomass of fast-growing, bloom-forming algae and because high concentrations of ammonium in the water can be toxic to higher plants.

New insights on the species-specific allelopathic interactions between macrophytes and marine HAB dinoflagellates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Macrophytes are known to release allelochemicals that have the ability to inhibit the proliferation of their competitors. Here, we investigated the effects of the fresh leaves of two magnoliophytes (Zostera noltei and Cymodocea nodosa) and thalli of the ...

Latitudinal Patterns in European Seagrass Carbon Reserves: Influence of Seasonal Fluctuations versus Short-Term Stress and Disturbance Events [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Seagrass meadows form highly productive and valuable ecosystems in the marine environment. Throughout the year, seagrass meadows are exposed to abiotic and biotic variations linked to (i) seasonal fluctuations, (ii) short-term stress events such as, e.g.,
