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 …

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 …

Penetration of light into aquatic ecosystems is greatly affected by the absorption and
scattering processes that take place within the water. Thus within any water body, the …

We measured the absorption properties of phytoplankton, nonalgal particles (NAP), and
colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) at about 350 stations in various coastal waters …

Optical Properties and Remote Sensing of Inland and Coastal Waters discusses the
methodology and the theoretical basis of remote sensing of water. It presents physical …

Phosphorus is an essential element for all life forms. It is a mineral nutrient. Orthophosphate
is the only form of P that autotrophs can assimilate. Extracellular enzymes hydrolyze organic …

As we understand more about the optical properties of aquatic substances and their
influences on ocean colour, it became possible to envisage the use of ocean-colour data to …

To address these issues with respect to the multifarious conditions existing in the different
basins of the World Ocean is a highly complicated matter and exceeds the scope of the …

This study demonstrates experimentally that coarse woody debris (CWD) can provide refuge
from predation in aquatic habitats. In the Rhode River subestuary of Chesapeake Bay …

There are several empirical and semianalytical models for the satellite‐based estimation of
the diffuse attenuation coefficient for the downwelling spectral irradiance at the wavelength …
