production rates compared to that of rain forests. Benthic organisms release 10–50% of their …

In India, intertidal seaweed resources are widely investigated and utilized for various
applications, whereas reef-associated seaweed resources and their impacts on corals are …

Macrophytes constitute an important component of coral reef communities. This chapter will
review the knowledge of macroalgae and marine angiosperms associated with Cuban coral …
