Posidonia oceanica is a seagrass endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the primary
production of the P. oceanica meadow is not directly consumed by herbivores and plays a …

Coastal ecosystems, such as estuaries, salt marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
comprise some of the world's most productive and ecologically significant ecosystems …

Plastic is ubiquitous within the global marine environment, essentially becoming part of the
environment and the ecology of these ecosystems. In Mediterranean ecosystems seagrass …

Scientists concerned with organic matter flow and food web structures in aquatic systems
have increasingly realized the potential for using stable isotopes as both natural tracers and …

Fatty acid biomarkers and stable isotope signatures were used to identify the trophic
dynamics of a mangrove/seagrass estuarine food web at Matapouri, northern New Zealand …

Organic carbon (OC) stored in the sediments of seagrass meadows has been considered a
globally significant OC reservoir. However, the sparsity and regional bias of studies on long …

Stable isotopes have been extensively used to trace element cycles and their incorporation
into food webs. This chapter provides a brief introduction to the principles of using stable …

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (13 C/12 C and 15 N/14 N) of primary producers
and consumers were investigated seasonally throughout 1999, in order to describe the food …

The nine species comprising the genus Zostera discussed in this chapter form a widespread
and relatively well-studied group of seagrasses. Some of the earliest studies of seagrasses …

This report was written to provide background information for aquatic ecologists interested in
using stable isotope analysis (SIA). Ratios of stable isotopes of carbon (13C/12C), nitrogen …
