A focus of community ecology is the spatial distribution of species assemblages and the
interactions among species and abiotic features of the environment. While the ubiquity of …

Seagrasses of the Great Barrier Reef predominantly occur in coastal regions where
terrestrial inputs modify water quality and photosynthetic light is highly variable. Responses …

Metrics of epiphyte load on macrophytes were evaluated for use as quantitative biological
indicators for nutrient impacts in estuarine waters, based on review and analysis of the …

In this study we evaluate whether the pattern of spatial variability of the macro-epiphyte
assemblages of leaves of Posidonia oceanica differed in relation to anthropogenic …

In wetland ecosystem, the microbial succession in epiphytic biofilms of submerged
macrophytes remains to be fully elucidated, especially submerged macrophytes used to …

Submerged macrophytes can provide attached surface for biofilms (known as periphyton)
growth. In the present study, the alterations in biofilms formation, and chemical compositions …

To understand the coastal water quality of San Andrès Island, and provide tools for the
management of its marine resources, we present the historical analysis of the island …

Epiphytes on Posidonia oceanica play a crucial role for determination of the ecological
status of marine environment in time and space besides the seagrasses alone. The study …

Seagrass meadows provide many important ecosystem services, but they are threatened by
human activities and are in decline globally. In particular, eutrophication arising from human …

The epiphyte community structure of the Posidonia oceanica leaves in three impacted
meadows occurring in urbanised coastal areas was contrasted with that observed in three …
