Effects of irradiance, temperature, and nutrients on growth dynamics of seagrasses: A review (2007, background): “Reductions in shoot densities and above-ground biomass during low light conditions are possibly an effective acclimation response to reduce self-shading within the canopy (Olesen et al., 2002; Enríquez and Pantoja-Reyes, 2005).”
Dynamics of Seagrass Stability and Change (2007, background): “through enhanced elongation rates in deep growing stands, thereby reducing internal self-shading by increased distance between neighboring shoots (Olesen et al., 2002).”
Impact of light limitation on seagrasses (2007, background): “…seagrass leaves exhibit efficient and relatively uniform light harvesting capabilities across varying depths and water quality (Cummings and Zimmerman, 2003; Olesen et al., 2002) and significant differences in some others (Olesen et al., 2002; Enríquez, 2005; Cayabyab and Enríquez, in press).”
Morphological, growth and meadow characteristics of the seagrass Posidonia sinuosa along a depth-related gradient of light availability (2007, background): “Seagrasses are sensitive to light availability across a range of scales, including individual leaf responses, shoot-scale responses and alterations to the meadow structure (Olesen et al. 2002).”
