Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, background): “…by climate change is extremely important as green turtles have important ecological roles (e.g. maintenance of seagrass and algal ecosystems) (Moran and Bjorndal, 2005, 2007), social importance to indigenous people (Johannes and Macfarlane, 1991), and value to the tourism industry (Wilson…”
Marine megaherbivore grazing may increase seagrass tolerance to high nutrient loads (2012, methodology): “However, the simulated leaf grazing did not decrease seagrass nutrient content compared to ungrazed seagrass, which is in contrast to other studies that described less intense grazing (Moran & Bjorndal 2005, 2007; Aragones et al. 2006; Heck et al. 2006; Fourqurean, Muth & Boyer 2010).”
