Thresholds of irradiance for seagrass Posidonia oceanica meadow metabolism
Meadows of the endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica are threatened in the Mediterranean due to a general deterioration of the light environment that becomes critical when light irradiance is insufficient to meet the carbon requirements of the system. Here, we conduct a 3 wk, in situ shading experiment (8 levels plus controls) to determine the threshold of irradiance for balanced metabolism in a ...
متن کاملSeagrass meadows (Posidonia oceanica) distribution and trajectories of change
Posidonia oceanica meadows are declining at alarming rates due to climate change and human activities. Although P. oceanica is considered the most important and well-studied seagrass species of the Mediterranean Sea, to date there has been a limited effort to combine all the spatial information available and provide a complete distribution of meadows across the basin. The aim of this work is to...
متن کاملFood sources of two detritivore amphipods associated with the seagrass Posidonia oceanica leaf litter
This study focused on the ingestion and assimilation of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile litter by Gammarella fucicola Leach and Gammarus aequicauda Martynov, two dominant detritivore amphipods of the P. oceanica leaf litter. Scanning electron microscope observations indicated that leaf litter is highly colonized by diverse diatoms, bacteria and fungi, which may constitute a potential food source...
متن کاملEffect of a seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) meadow on wave propagation
We demonstrate the utility of using the equivalent bottom roughness for calculating the friction factor and the drag coefficient of a seagrass meadow for conditions in which the meadow height is small compared to the water depth. Wave attenuation induced by the seagrass Posidonia oceanica is evaluated using field data from bottom-mounted acoustic doppler veloci meters (ADVs). Using the data fro...
متن کاملEffects of sediment sulfides on seagrass Posidonia oceanica meristematic activity
Seagrass meadows rank amongst the most productive ecosystems on Earth, growing along tropical and temperate coasts, where they have important structural and biogeochemical functions (Hemminga & Duarte 2000). Seagrasses are clonal plants, which expand into new areas vegetatively by adding modules produced by the meristems located at the rhizome apices, rendering seagrass demographics and product...
