Spatial and temporal distributions of epiphytic diatoms growing on Thalassia testudinum Banks ex König: relationships to water quality (2006, background): “Benthic diatoms, both edaphic and epiphytic, are ubiquitous in shallow water environments and may be the most taxonomically diverse group of organisms in estuarine ecosystems ( Sullivan & Currin, 2000 ).”
Stable isotope addition reveals dietary importance of phytoplankton and microphytobenthos to saltmarsh infauna (2008, background): “…they are relatively nutritious and easy to digest, algae may be a preferred food source for deposit- and suspension-feeding infauna even though they may live in a sediment matrix rich in Spartina spp. detritus (Lopez & Levinton 1987, Tenore 1988, Kreeger & Newell 2000, Sullivan & Currin 2000).”
