The potential role of plant oxygen and sulphide dynamics in die‐off events of the tropical seagrass, Thalassia testudinum (2005, background): “The initiation of die-off episodes is more likely to be caused by disturbance of plant oxygen balances induced by environmental factors, such as hypersalinity or high temperatures (Zieman et al. 1999; Koch & Erskine 2001 ), pathogen infection increasing plant respiration (Porter & Muehlstein 1989; ”
Tropical seagrass species tolerance to hypersalinity stress (2007, background): “…co-occur in the field with high salinity, such as high temperature and porewater sulfides, can influence photosynthesis and O2 consumption rates in seagrass communities (Zieman, 1975; Kerr and Strother, 1985; Carlson et al., 1994; Koch and Erskine, 2001; Borum et al., 2005; Koch unpublished data).”
Seagrasses and eutrophication (2007, background): “Interactive effects of high salinity (55–60) and/or high temperature (35 °C) with high sulfide (6 mM), sometimes characteristic of its natural habitat, were linked to mortality of the tropical seagrass, T. testudinum (Koch and Erskine, 2001).”
Climate Change Impacts on Seagrass Meadows and Macroalgal Forests: An Integrative Perspective on Acclimation and Adaptation Potential (2018, background): “Although this metabolic shift allows the system to recycle organic carbon, it comes at a high cost by generating high amounts of sulfide that is toxic for seagrasses (Koch and Erskine, 2001).”
Thalassia testudinum response to the interactive stressors hypersalinity, sulfide and hypoxia (2007, background): “We have also found in a short-term hydroponic experiment that T. testudinum can exhibit a ‘‘die-back’’ response when exposed to high sulfide (6 mM), high temperature (35 8C) and hypersalinity (55– 60 psu) in combination (Koch and Erskine, 2001).”
Sulfur accumulation in eelgrass (Zostera marina) and effect of sulfur on eelgrass growth (2005, background): “Sulfides are potential phytotoxins (Koch and Erskine, 2001) and seagrasses have adapted to life under reducing and anoxic conditions by developing a lacunae system, which allow oxygen transport inside the plant to the below-ground tissues to support oxic processes in these organs (Sand-Jensen et al.”
