The increasing rate of global climate change seen in this century, and predicted to
accelerate into the next, will significantly impact the Earth's oceans. In this review, we …

Productivity of seagrasses can be controlled by physiological processes, as well as various
biotic and abiotic factors that influence plant metabolism. Light, temperature, and inorganic …

The biomass and production of seagrass populations were reassessed based on the
compilation of a large data set comprising estimates for 30 species, derived from the …

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

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

Submerged vegetation respond to increased nutrient loading through a shift from slow-
growing seagrasses and large macroalgae to fast-growing macroalgae, and the ultimate …

Data on nutrient contents of 27 seagrass species at 30 locations were compiled from the
literature. Mean (f SE) concentrations of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in seagrass …

Cyanobacteria of the genus Oscillatoria (Trichodesmium) account for annual inputs of
nitrogen to the world's oceans of about 4.8× 1012 grams while benthic environments …

When determining the suitability of a certain area as a habitat for submersed aquatic
vegetation (SAV), light and parameters that modify light (epiphytes, total suspended solids …

Seagrass meadows provide multiple ecosystem services, yet they are among the most
threatened ecosystems on earth. Because of their role as carbon sinks, protection and …
