Accurate estimation of connectivity among populations is fundamental for determining the
drivers of population resilience, genetic diversity, adaptation and speciation. However the …

A feedback between seagrass presence, suspended sediment and benthic light can induce
bistability between two ecosystem states: one where the presence of seagrass reduces …

Seagrass meadows support high primary production rates and their canopies are efficient at
filtering particles out of their water column as well as in preventing resuspension of the …

Fluid dynamics is the study of the movement of fluids. Among other things, it addresses
velocity, acceleration, and the forces exerted by or upon fluids in motion (Daugherty et al …

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for
population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully …

Retention of particles in seagrass canopies is usually attributed to only the indirect,
attenuating effects canopies have on flow, turbulence and wave action, promoting …

To predict the behavior of solutes and suspended particles in wetlands, it is necessary to
estimate advection and longitudinal dispersion. To better understand these processes …

A great diversity of organisms modify the physical structure of estuarine and coastal
environments. These physical ecosystem engineers–particularly, dune and marsh plants …

The hydrodynamics of simulated patches of the Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia
oceanica were studied in laboratory flume experiments in which the height of the pronated …

Submerged aquatic vegetation has the potential to greatly improve water quality through the
removal of nutrients, particulates and trace metals. The efficiency of this removal depends …
