Impact of water turbidity to Seagrass (Enhalus acoroides) morphology

Seagrass meadows provide a range of important ecosystem functions that can be influenced by both natural and anthropogenic pressures. One water quality for seagrass growth survival is turbidity. A study to observe impacts high turbidity morphometry was conducted in two islands i.e., Sabutung Bangko-Bangkoang Pangkep Regency. These are sediment load from several rivers Water column reducing the quantity light available photosynthesis. However, dense population Enhalus acoroides found buried under regimes Islands. Some morphological characteristics such as leaf sheath length, length width, rhizome diameter internode were varied among locations. This suggested developed plasticity responding reduced light. may establish acclimatization respond minimum availability.
