A review of seagrass economic valuations: Gaps and progress in valuation approaches (2016, background): “low, its acreage typically extends to hundreds of thousands of kilometers of the coastline (Short et al., 2007; Orth et al., 2006).”
The global distribution of seagrass meadows (2020, background): “Based on previous estimates, seagrasses are reported to occur in 191 countries and across six global bioregions spanning the tropical and temperate seas [7].”
Highlights in Seagrasses’ Phylogeny, Physiology, and Metabolism: What Makes Them Special? (2012, background): “These large variations in morphology and ecological function of different seagrass species influence, how they interact with higher trophic levels and the type of habitat they provide [18].”
Extinction risk assessment of the world’s seagrass species (2011, methodology): “Seagrasses are also found, at the limits of their northern distribution, in temperate waters including Norway, Russia and Alaska and, at their most southerly distribution, in Chile (Short et al., 2007).”
Modeling habitat and bycatch risk for dugongs in Sabah, Malaysia (2014, neutral): “While spatially and temporally dynamic, many tropical seagrass communities thrive in shallow reef flats, where sunlight is obtainable in the water column and turbidity is low (Short et al. 2007).”
Climate Change Impacts on Seagrass Meadows and Macroalgal Forests: An Integrative Perspective on Acclimation and Adaptation Potential (2018, background): “, 2002; Bolton, 2010), seagrasses predominate on sandy shores from temperate to tropical regions (Short et al., 2007).”
A comparison of threats, vulnerabilities and management approaches in global seagrass bioregions (2012, methodology): “This study is the first to assess the relative impact of multiple anthropogenic activities on seagrasses in the six global bioregions of Short et al (2007). The rank outputs improve on the accepted seagrass management paradigms (e.”
Phenotypic plasticity promotes persistence following severe events: physiological and morphological responses of seagrass to flooding (2014, background): “…effective indicators of ecological stress as they integrate environmental impacts over different time-scales (Longstaff et al. 1999), are found in both tropical and temperate regions (Short et al. 2007) and inhabit those coastal zones closest to anthropogenic and natural impacts (Orth et al. 2006).”
Diversity, distribution and conservation of Chinese seagrass species: Diversity, distribution and conservation of Chinese seagrass species (2014, neutral): “9万亿美元(Costanza et al., 1997)。现存海草植物是70–100百万年前由单子叶植物进化而来的4 个独立支系(Les et al., 1997) , 广布于全球热带和温带的海岸带(Short et al., 2007)。然而由于近百年来人类对近海海域频繁的干扰活动, 自1990年后全球海草床以每年7%的速率在减少, 到目前为止已约有高达29%的海草场消失(Waycott et al., 2009), 约有14%(10种)的海草种类正面临灭绝的风险(Short et al., 2011), 因此海草研究正成为海洋生态与保护工作中关注的热点,…”
Substantial seagrass blue carbon pools in the southwestern Baltic Sea are spatially heterogeneous, mostly autochthonous, and include relics of terrestrial peatlands (2022, neutral): “2000, Short et al. 2007).”
Effects of the invasive seagrass Halophila stipulacea on the native seagrass, Syringodium filiforme, and associated fish and epibiota communities in the Eastern Caribbean. (2012, background): “H. stipulacea forms monocultures as well as mulispecies assemblages throughout its native and extended range Ruiz and Ballantine, 2004; Short et al., 2007) and can be found xposed at low tides (den Hartog, 1970) down to depths of 50 m Beer and Waisel, 1981), making it one of the deeper living…”
Climate change and ocean acidification effects on seagrasses and marine macroalgae (2013, background): “Halophila stipulacea also exhibited 14C-labeling of malate and its PEPC activity was equiv- alent to that of Rubisco, but the label in malate accumulated during the short chase and did not appear to turnover.”
Intercontinental disjunctions between eastern Asia and western North America in vascular plants highlight the biogeographic importance of the Bering land bridge from late Cretaceous to Neogene (2016, background): “The genus has three species in in eastern Asia and three species in western North America, all of which have a modified rhizome allowing them to inhabit exposed coasts, attaching to rocks in the high-energy surf zone (Larkum et al., 2005; Short et al., 2007).”
Accelerating loss of seagrasses across the globe threatens coastal ecosystems (2009, methodology): “Furthermore, this region has the highest number of seagrass species, including several endemic species (22).”
