Seagrass reproductive effort as an ecological indicator of disturbance (2012, background): “However, sexual recruitment is the most important way to maintain genetic diversity of seagrass meadows (Ackerman, 2006), and can be critical for meadow maintenance in highly disturbed and extreme environments (Thayer et al., 1984; Peterken and Conacher, 1997; Marbà and Walker, 1999; Plus et al., 20”
Global seagrass distribution and diversity: A bioregional model (2007, background): “A reproductive strategy involving clonal growth and production of long-lived, locally dispersed seeds may provide an evolutionary advantage to plants growing in environments subject to temporally unpredictable major disturbances (Rasheed, 2004).”
