Seagrasses provide multiple ecosystem services including nursery habitat, improved water
quality, coastal protection, and carbon sequestration. However, seagrasses are in crisis as …

Seagrass species form important marine and estuarine habitats providing valuable
ecosystem services and functions. Coastal zones that are increasingly impacted by …

The impacts of climatic change on organisms depend on the interaction of multiple stressors
and how these may affect the interactions among species. Consumer–prey relationships …

Seagrass meadows support key ecosystem services, via provision of food directly for
herbivores, and indirectly to their predators. The importance of herbivores in seagrass …

In coastal marine food webs, small invertebrate herbivores (mesograzers) have long been
hypothesized to occupy an important position facilitating dominance of habitat‐forming …

Macroalgal surfaces support abundant and diverse microorganisms within biofilms, which
are often involved in fundamental functions relating to the health and defense of their …

We tested the relative effects of nutrient loading, reduced predation, and reduced grazing on
eelgrass community dynamics in Chesapeake Bay and found evidence supporting the …

Grazing by all members of an herbivore community can act to structure the ecosystems they
feed on. The outcome of this grazing pressure on the plant community also depends on the …

Hard bottom communities along the western A ntarctic P eninsula region are dominated by
thick macroalgal forests, which support high densities of mesograzers, particularly …

Historical declines of marine megaherbivores have led to a view of seagrass communities
structured largely by abiotic disturbance and plant competition. There is, however, growing …
