A review of seagrass economic valuations: Gaps and progress in valuation approaches (2016, background): “Species that are negatively buoyant remain submerged after death locking decaying organic matter within the local system (Mateo et al., 2006).”
Production and fate of kelp detritus (2012, unknown): “%) enters detrital pathways (Mateo et al. 2006) (Fig.”
Trophic importance of diatoms in an intertidal Zostera noltii seagrass bed: Evidence from stable isotope and fatty acid analyses (2011, unknown): “…seagrass leaves are the main food source for macrofaunal invertebrates (Kitting et al., 1984; Moncreiff and Sullivan, 2001; Borowitzka et al., 2006; Mateo et al., 2006; Jaschinski et al., 2008) because they can reach high biomass (Borowitzka et al., 2006) and may provide better quality nutrients…”
Molluscan assemblages of seagrass-covered and bare intertidal flats on the Banc d'Arguin, Mauritania, in relation to characteristics of sediment and organic matter (2008, background): “seagrass material, and a fast rate of primary production (Mateo et al., 2006), the products are hardly directly usable by benthic invertebrates.”
Infauna fromZostera marina L. meadows in Norway. Differences in vegetated and unvegetated areas (2010, background): “Presence of seagrass increases the oxygen level in the sediment and thereby preventing the system from going anoxic (Mateo et al. 2006).”
