The future of seagrass meadows
CM Duarte - Environmental conservation, 2002 - cambridge.org
Seagrasses cover about 0.1–0.2% of the global ocean, and develop highly productive
ecosystems which fulfil a key role in the coastal ecosystem. Widespread seagrass loss …

The Tropical Seagrass Halophila stipulacea: Reviewing What We Know From Its Native and Invasive Habitats, Alongside Identifying Knowledge Gaps
Halophila stipulacea is a small tropical seagrass, native to the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and
the Indian Ocean. It invaded the Mediterranean Sea 150 years ago as a Lessepsian migrant …

Temperature extremes reduce seagrass growth and induce mortality
CJ Collier, M Waycott - Marine pollution bulletin, 2014 - Elsevier
Extreme heating (up to 43° C measured from five-year temperature records) occurs in
shallow coastal seagrass meadows of the Great Barrier Reef at low tide. We measured …

Blue carbon stocks in Baltic Sea eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows
ME Röhr, C Boström, P Canal-Vergés… - Biogeosciences, 2016 - bg.copernicus.org
Although seagrasses cover only a minor fraction of the ocean seafloor, their carbon sink
capacity accounts for nearly one-fifth of the total oceanic carbon burial and thus play a …

Heat stress of two tropical seagrass species during low tides – impact on underwater net photosynthesis, dark respiration and diel in situ internal aeration
Seagrasses grow submerged in aerated seawater but often in low O2 sediments. Elevated
temperatures and low O2 are stress factors. Internal aeration was measured in two tropical …

Thermal tolerance of two seagrass species at contrasting light levels: implications for future distribution in the Great Barrier Reef
This study assessed metabolism, growth, and survival of two seagrass species at three
