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 …

Chlorophyll a fluorescence is increasingly being used as a rapid, non-invasive, sensitive
and convenient indicator of photosynthetic performance in marine autotrophs. This review …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems such as saltmarshes and seagrasses are important sinks of
organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN), with large global and local variability, driven by …

Seagrasses and macroalgae (seaweeds) are important primary producers and habitats in
estuarine and marine intertidal and shallow benthic areas. Unlike terrestrial plants, aquatic …

The effects of light-limitation stress were investigated in natural stands of the seagrasses
Zostera marina and Cymodocea nodosa in Ria Formosa coastal lagoon, southern Portugal …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in frequency and intensity as part of climate
change, yet their impact on seagrass is poorly known. The present work evaluated the …

The dwarf seagrass Zostera noltii is an important primary producer in Atlantic coastal
ecosystems from Mauritania to southern Norway and the Mediterranean Sea. Sessile …

We studied the hypersaline stress responses of the Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia
oceanica to determine if the species was tolerant to salinity increases that occur in coastal …

One of the major uses of active chlorophyll fluorescence in aquatic studies has been to
examine primary productivity free from constraints associated with 'conventional'gas …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems are major organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN) sinks,
but the mechanisms that regulate their spatial variability need to be better understood. Here …
