Morphological, growth and meadow characteristics of the seagrass Posidonia sinuosa along a depth-related gradient of light availability (2007, background): “Up to 80% of light in Thalassia testudinum and 85% in Posidonia australis meadows is attenuated within 5 and 10 cm, respectively, of the canopy surface (Masini & Manning 1997, Enríquez et al. 2002).”
Impact of light limitation on seagrasses (2007, background): “Generally, effective and maximum quantum yields decrease from a maximum with increased irradiance (Dawson and Dennison, 1996; Ralph et al., 1998; Longstaff et al., 1999; Durako and Kunzelman, 2002; Enríquez et al., 2002; Major and Dunton, 2002; Ralph et al., 2005).”
The Use of the Fluorescence Signal in Studies of Seagrasses and Macroalgae (2010, background): “Furthermore, aquatic plants are exposed to a more variable light field than terrestrial plants with significant spectral changes with depth and water quality and, in shallow waters, extremely high light flashes due to the lensing effects of waves (Enríquez et al. 2002; Hanelt et al. 2003).”
Effects of irradiance, temperature, and nutrients on growth dynamics of seagrasses: A review (2007, background): “…(2000) Thalassia hemprichii Above-ground 141.3–330.3 8.3–31.9 0.02–0.17 Seasonal Agawin et al. (2001) Thalassia testudinum Above-ground 352.6 2.605 Basal leaf segment Enríquez et al. (2002) Above-ground 349.0 2.622 Apical leaf segment Enríquez et al. (2002) Whole plant 77.6±25.2 49.3±10.0…”
Daily variation patterns in seagrass photosynthesis along a vertical gradient (2003, background): “…has proved to be particularly useful in the assessment of several aspects of the diurnal pattern of photosynthetic activity in seagrasses (Ralph et al. 1998, Enríquez et al. 2002, Figueroa et al. 2002), as it allows a considerable number of measures throughout the day under field conditions.”
