Impact of light limitation on seagrasses (2007, background): “Changes to architecture and growth characteristics can be detected in as little as 9–14 days (Longstaff et al., 1999; Peralta et al., 2002).”
Effects of irradiance, temperature, and nutrients on growth dynamics of seagrasses: A review (2007, background): “…between plant growth rate and daily integrated photon irradiance followed a saturation model which included photoinhibition, with maximum growth rates of Z. noltii occurring at intermediate light levels (42% SI or 20.6 mol photons m−2 d−1), and decreased at 100% SI (Peralta et al., 2002).”
Interactive effects of timing, intensity and duration of experimental shading on Amphibolis griffithii (2009, methodology): “ANOVA indicated that the hours of saturating irradiance were significantly different among treatments (Table 2), pairwise comparisons confirming all 3 intensities were significantly different to each other (p 0.05 in all cases).”
Direct effects of current velocity on the growth, morphometry and architecture of seagrasses: a case study on Zostera noltii (2006, background): “A relative large investment in aboveground tissues seems an effective response of Z. noltii to compensate for growth limitations (Peralta et al. 2002, 2005).”
Morphometric variations as acclimation mechanisms in Zostera noltii beds (2005, background): “Enhanced light availability may explain increases in root-rhizome GR, but only as a proportion of the whole plant growth (Peralta et al., 2002).”
Waves and high nutrient loads jointly decrease survival and separately affect morphological and biomechanical properties in the seagrass Zostera noltii (2012, background): “The resulting daily integrated photon irradiance of 17.7 mol photons m22 d21 is known to facilitate the clonal growth in this species (Peralta et al. 2002).”
Morphological, growth and meadow characteristics of the seagrass Posidonia sinuosa along a depth-related gradient of light availability (2007, background): “Physiological characteristics also show some responses to reduced light, such as increased chlorophyll concentration, providing a mechanism to enhance light capture and conversion to chemical energy (Dennison & Alberte 1985, Abal et al. 1994, Peralta et al. 2002, Ralph & Gademann 2005).”
