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 …

Chlorophyll a fluorescence is increasingly being used as a rapid, non-invasive, sensitive
and convenient indicator of photosynthetic performance in marine autotrophs. This review …

Rapid light curves provide detailed information on the saturation characteristics of electron
transport, as well as the overall photosynthetic performance of a plant. Rapid light curves …

Seagrass distribution is controlled by light availability, especially at the deepest edge of the
meadow. Light attenuation due to both natural and anthropogenically-driven processes …

In many areas of the North American mid-Atlantic coast, seagrass beds are either in decline
or have disappeared due, in part, to high turbidity that reduces the light reaching the plant …

Coral reef benthic communities are mosaics of individual bottom-types that are distinguished
by their taxonomic composition and functional roles in the ecosystem. Knowledge of …

The recent recurring blooms of pelagic Sargassum spp.(sargasso) in the tropical Atlantic
forming the Great Atlantic Sargasso Belt, are composed of distinct algal species and …

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

The variation in seagrass morphology and the magnitude of leaf self-shading within the
canopy of Thalassia testudinum, were compared among nine sites in a fringing reef lagoon …

In this study we analyzed the physiological responses of coralline algae to ocean
acidification (OA) and global warming, by exposing algal thalli of three species with …
