This study evaluated the influence of the shoot density of the shoal grass Halodule wrightii on the composition of the associated algal community, in rocky and sandy habitats on the coast of Ceará in northeastern Brazil. The phycological community included 18 species in 10 families, members of Rodophyta (72.2%), Chlorophyta (22.2%) and Phaeophyceae (5.5%). The largest proportion were epilithic ...

14 The elemental (C, N and P) and isotopic (δ 13 C, δ 15 N) content of leaves of the seagrasses 15 Thalassia testudinum, Halodule wrightii, and Syringodium filiforme were measured across a 16 10,000 km 2 survey of the seagrass communities of South Florida in 1999 and 2000. Trends at 17 local and broad spatial scales were compared to examine interspecific variation in the seagrass 18 characteris...

There is a lot of seagrass species in Bintan. This study aimed to assess the distribution and density east coast Bintan Island. The sampling was conducted from January March 2017 three observation stations which were Berakit, Malang Rapat, Teluk Bakau. assessment using line transect method 0.5 m x quadrats along transect. In total, 9 found during this namely Syringodium isoetifolium, Enhalus ac...

We examined the ability of seagrasses to take up dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) with leaves (in situ) and roots (laboratory) in an oligotrophic tropical offshore meadow in Indonesia using 15N-labeled nitrogen (N) substrates. We compared the uptake of urea and amino acids with that of ammonium (NH z4 ) and nitrate (NO { 3 ) and determined uptake kinetics of amino acids for the seagrasses Thala...

Background: The Cape Verde archipelago consists of 10 volcanic islands in the eastern Atlantic Ocean located 570 km off the coast of Western Africa. While the shallow benthic communities have been studied in some detail no seagrasses have been previously reported for the Republic of Cape Verde. Results: The seagrass Halodule wrightii Ascherson was found and described at one location at Praia, S...
