Productivity of seagrasses can be controlled by physiological processes, as well as various
biotic and abiotic factors that influence plant metabolism. Light, temperature, and inorganic …

This review summarizes the historic, correlative field evidence and experimental research
that implicate cultural eutrophication as a major cause of seagrass disappearance. We …

Submerged vegetation respond to increased nutrient loading through a shift from slow-
growing seagrasses and large macroalgae to fast-growing macroalgae, and the ultimate …

Nutrient enrichment of shallow coastal waters changes the composition of plant communities
so that slow-growing, benthic macrophytes are replaced by fast-growing algae such as …

Within the past few decades, major losses of seagrass habitats in coastal waters impacted
by cultural eutrophication have been documented worldwide. In confronting a pressing need …

Loss of eelgrass (Zostera marina) habitat from temperate estuaries worldwide often
coincides with increased macroalgal accumulations resulting from increased delivery of …

In this paper, we explicitly link changes in community structure of estuarine primary
producers to measured nitrogen loading rates from watersheds to estuaries, and quantify the …

Seagrasses are declining all over the world, resulting in a substantial loss of biodiversity,
coastal sediment stabilization and nursery areas of economically important fish. The …

The influence of marine plants representing different stages of eutrophication on carbon
decomposition and production, benthic nutrient fluxes and denitrification was examined in 4 …

The term 'nutrient'applies to any material that, taken into a living organism, serves to sustain
it in its existence, promoting growth, replacing losses, or providing energy. In the framework …
