Seagrass meadows are marine habitats with high ecological importance. Their detection in
the fossil record will contribute to our understanding of the development of patterns of …

Oligocene carbonate ramps and platforms are widespread and though they are important
carbonate reservoirs, detailed studies on the facies organization, platform type and internal …

Mediterranean shallow-water soft bottoms are characterized by extensive meadows of the
endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile that support abundant benthic biota …

Mediterranean infralittoral soft bottoms are dominated by extensive seagrass meadows of
the endemic phanerogam Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile. Both leaves and rhizomes are …

The present study investigates the influence of seagrass root systems on benthic hard-
shelled meiofauna (foraminifera). In February and July 2011, sediment cores were collected …

A survey on the epiphytic microorganisms growing on Posidonia oceanica leaves was
conducted along a depth transect along the coast of Eastern Tunisia (Mahdia). Samples …

The role of macrophytes (such as seagrasses) in influencing deposition in shallow marine
environments has long been understood. They affect sediment textures such that they do not …

In the easternmost part of the main Izeh Zone of the Zagros Mountains, Iran, the Asmari
carbonate platform system of Oligo–Miocene age is superbly exposed in three-dimensional …

The present study analyzes the spatial distribution and seasonal distribution of live benthic
foraminiferal communities in the estuary of Guadiana, the fourth largest river on the Iberian …

Well-preserved remains of a Posidonia oceanica meadow have been found in a Lower
Pleistocene (Calabrian) succession cropping out near Fauglia (Tuscany, Italy). This paper …
