The necromass of the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow: fate, role, ecosystem services and vulnerability (2016, background): “(ii) A spawning ground and nursery (Francour & Le Direac’h, 1995; Harmelin-Vivien et al., 1995; Jimenez et al., 1996; Boudouresque et al., 2012) (Fig.”
Biogeomorphology of the Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows (2017, background): “, 2012): they attenuate waves and currents, reduce sediment resuspension, protect the beach from erosion, and contribute to shoreline stabilization (e.g. Boudouresque and Jeudy de Grissac, 1983; Gacia and Duarte, 2001; Boudouresque et al., 2012).”
Artificial reefs do increase secondary biomass production: mechanisms evidenced by stable isotopes (2014, background): “…20 and 30 m depth on a sandy bottom with Posidonia oceanica dead matte (underlying structure of P. ocea nica meadows constituted of rhizomes and roots intermingled with sediments; Boudouresque et al. 2012) and close to natural rocky substrates of the coastline and the Frioul Archipelago (Fig.”
Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “The dissolved oxygen generated during macroalgal and seagrass photosynthesis exceeds overall consumption and constitutes a major contributor for water column oxygenation (Boudouresque et al., 2012).”
