Environmental decision-making applies transdisciplinary knowledge to deliver optimal
outcomes. Here we synthesise various aspects of seagrass ecology to aid environmental …

Laboratory measurements reveal the flow structure within and above a model seagrass
meadow (dynamically similar to Zostera marina) forced by progressive waves. Despite being …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea has been experiencing rapid increases in temperature and
salinity triggering its tropicalization. Additionally, its connection with the Red Sea has been …

To the casual observer, seagrass meadows often appear to be uniformlandscapes with
limited structure. Belying this appearance, seagrass meadows contain considerable …

Posidonia oceanica is an endemic Mediterranean seagrass used as a 'biological quality
element'in monitoring programmes of the EU Water Framework Directive, providing …

The effect of shading on the seagrass Posidonia sinuosa Cambridge et Kuo was
investigated to identify mechanisms that prolong its survival during periods of low light and …

An analytical model was developed to predict the velocity evolution within a submerged
canopy of finite width and used to explore the impact of plant flexibility and width on the …

Seagrass meadows can retain fine particles, improving water clarity and promoting carbon
sequestration. Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of …

We studied the role of hydrodynamics in the establishment of sea grass seedlings for two
Mediterranean sea grass species, Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa, by …

An ecosystem modelling approach was used to understand and assess the Mediterranean
marine ecosystem structure and function as a whole. In particular, 2 food web models for the …
