Flow‐induced reconfiguration of buoyant and flexible aquatic vegetation (2011, background): “An upright posture exposes the vegetation to higher light intensities, whereas a streamlined posture increases the projected leaf area absorbing the incoming light but makes self-shading among neighboring macrophytes more likely (Zimmerman 2003).”
Morphological, growth and meadow characteristics of the seagrass Posidonia sinuosa along a depth-related gradient of light availability (2007, background): “Bending angles of Thalassia testudinum leaves were an important determinant of total leaf photosynthesis, with bending angles of greater than 20° creating significant self-shading (Zimmerman 2003).”
Wave-induced dynamics of flexible blades (2015, background): “In addition to influencing light availability [38], plant posture and motion mediate nutrient uptake [17, 16] and oxygen efflux [29], which are some of the most important ecological services provided by aquatic vegetation [7].”
