Although seagrasses and marine macroalgae (macro‐autotrophs) play critical ecological
roles in reef, lagoon, coastal and open‐water ecosystems, their response to ocean …

Marine macrophytes are the foundation of algal forests and seagrass meadows–some of the
most productive and diverse coastal marine ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems …

In wetland soils and underwater sediments of marine, brackish and freshwater systems, the
strong phytotoxin sulfide may accumulate as a result of microbial reduction of sulfate during …

This review summarizes the historic, correlative field evidence and experimental research
that implicate cultural eutrophication as a major cause of seagrass disappearance. We …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has traditionally been thought of as a phytotoxin, having deleterious
effects on the plant growth and survival. It is now recognized that plants have enzymes …

Effects of global warming on marine ecosystems are far less understood than they are in
terrestrial environments. Macrophyte-based coastal ecosystems are particularly vulnerable …

The quest for a future with greater environmental sustainability has led to a rising focus on
investigating innovative methods for energy production and storage. However, marine …

The use of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment is rapidly increasing worldwide
due to their advantages of low operating and maintenance costs. Denitrification in …

Seagrasses are marine flowering plants growing in soft-body sediments of intertidal and
shallow sub-tidal zones. They play an important role in coastal ecosystems by stabilizing …

The available information from experimental and descriptive studies on the effects of
sediment burial and erosion on seagrasses was compiled to synthesize the information …
